N2  - Given the widespread evidence for the importance of the motor system in conceptual memory and language processing, we investigated if action affordances also play a role in visual working memory for objects. Familiar (Experiment 1) and novel (Experiment 2) objects were presented in an N-back working memory task. The potential role of affordances was investigated by presenting manipulable (e.g., fork) and nonmanipulable (e.g., chimney) objects. Results showed that a concurrent motor task did not interfere differently with memory for objects with and without affordances. We conclude that motor affordances play no role in visual working memory
