Working memory is the fundamental function of the various cognitive processes and abilities in the overall trajectory of development. Significant advances in multivariate analysis of human functional magnetic resonance imaging data have converged functional segregation models toward integrated representation-based models. However, due to the inherent limitations of the multi-voxel pattern analysis method, we are unable to determine whether the underlying neural representations are spatially similar in the brain. Our study attempts to answer this question by examining the spatial similarity of brain activity during the working memory task in children and adults. Our results reveal similar patterns of activity between the regions involved in working memory. This functional network of similar spatial patterns was observed in both normally developing children and adults. However, the between-region similarity was more pronounced in adults than in children and associated with better performance. We propose an exchange of similar information flows through the brain at an integrated level of working memory processes, underpinning the holistic nature of working memory representation.
