Do the contents of visual working memory automatically influence attentional selection during visual search?
In many theories of cognition, researchers propose that working memory and perception operate interactively. For example, in previous studies researchers have suggested that sensory inputs matching the contents of working memory will have an automatic advantage in the competition for processing resources. The authors tested this hypothesis by requiring observers to perform a visual search task ...
متن کاملVisual-spatial attention aids the maintenance of object representations in visual working memory.
Theories have proposed that the maintenance of object representations in visual working memory is aided by a spatial rehearsal mechanism. In this study, we used two different approaches to test the hypothesis that overt and covert visual-spatial attention mechanisms contribute to the maintenance of object representations in visual working memory. First, we tracked observers' eye movements while...
متن کاملStructured Representations in Visual Working Memory
How much visual information can we hold in mind at once? A large body of research has attempted to quantify the capacity of visual working memory by focusing on how many individual objects or visual features can be actively maintained in memory. This thesis presents a novel theoretical framework for understanding working memory capacity, suggesting that our memory representations are complex an...
متن کاملModeling Continuous Representations in Visual Working Memory
Visual working memory (VWM) is a crucial part of our cognitive system. Currently there is an active debate how the apparent limitations of VWM should be described. Limited-slot and flexible-resource theories are discussed, but so far the temporal dynamics of representations stored in VWM are not fully understood. In this paper we present data that supports the notion of dynamic VWM contents wit...
متن کاملShifts of Covert Visual Attention:
Shifts of covert attention differ depending on whether the shift is exogenously or endogenously motivated. The present study examined whether crossing imaginary meridia in the visual field influences shifts directed by central or peripheral cues. A two-alternative forced-choice discrimination task was employed under direction from 70 % valid central and peripheral cues. In comparison to central...
