Aim and Background: Working Memory (WM) has attracted the attention of experimental psychologists and neurologists. Those who pay attention to how people argue, solve problems, pursue their goals, make decisions and achieve cognitive control. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the subtle memory by means of words. In this regard, this research is an attempt to gather evidence of the speed of response in facilitating tasks and inhibition tasks.

Methods and Materials: The present study is a descriptive-correlational study. The statistical population of the study was all young and middle-aged people with a minimum age of 20 years without any history of mental and neurological disorders. In this research, 30 people were selected through targeted sampling. The facilitator's homework included the first pair of pseudo-word targets. The term inhibition was also indicated by two words in terms of meaning unrelated to the distance of 150 milliseconds. In fact, the response rate was evaluated in a semantic test based on the characteristics of these two assignments. The mean value in two assignments was compared using t- paired t-test.

Findings: The results indicated that the mean response rate to goals in the facilitated task was 4592.7± 480.9 millisecond more than the inhibition task (p<0.0001).

Conclusions: It seems that target memory representations by the first neutralization of the target memory representations are unrelated to the first one.
