Long-term and working memories are important ways of storing information.Long-term memory has an effect on working memory.However,there are different views on the mechanism of long-term mem-ory specifically affecting working memory.This study focuses on the effects of long-term memory on work-ing memory from the perspective of gating mechanisms.First,we review the paradigms and results of gat-ing mechanisms.Including the Recall reporting paradigm,Hebb paradigm,and Reference-back paradigm.It has been shown that the"attentional gate"controls the flow of information from long-term memory to working memory.The working memory representation is updated when the gates are opened.When the gate is closed,working memory representation is maintained undisturbed.Second,we discussed the cognitive mechanisms of gating from the perspectives of item and associative representations.Finally,we make a summary and put forward some suggestions for further research.
