Common areas activated by inefficient search and both working memory tasks. a 3D rendering of a standardised T1 brain template with superimposed loci of brain activity showing areas in the brain which are commonly activated by the spatial working memory, verbal working memory and inefficient visual search. b Axial slices of a standardised brain template showing overlapping regions of activity for inefficient visual search (blue), spatial working memory (red) and verbal working memory (green). A threshold of p < 0.005 has been used for illustrative purposes, but all clusters were significant to p < 0.001 (except L IFG).
