Abstract
Working memory operates in active and passive states, yet their sensory demands remain debated. Using a behavioral method (N = 183, 50 Males, Mage = 19.9), we show both states similarly impair sensory detection, indicating comparable sensory demands. This challenge models proposing distinct sensory involvement between different working memory states.
