Involuntary top-down control by search-irrelevant features: Visual working memory biases attention in an object-based manner.
Many everyday tasks involve successive visual-search episodes with changing targets. Converging evidence suggests that these targets are retained in visual working memory (VWM) and bias attention from there. It is unknown whether all or only search-relevant features of a VWM template bias attention during search. Bias signals might be configured exclusively to task-relevant features so that onl...
متن کاملFeature-based memory-driven attentional capture: visual working memory content affects visual attention.
In 7 experiments, the authors explored whether visual attention (the ability to select relevant visual information) and visual working memory (the ability to retain relevant visual information) share the same content representations. The presence of singleton distractors interfered more strongly with a visual search task when it was accompanied by an additional memory task. Singleton distractor...
متن کاملVisual short-term memory load modulates the early attention and perception of task-irrelevant emotional faces
The ability to focus on task-relevant information, while suppressing distraction, is critical for human cognition and behavior. Using a delayed-match-to-sample (DMS) task, we investigated the effects of emotional face distractors (positive, negative, and neutral faces) on early and late phases of visual short-term memory (VSTM) maintenance intervals, using low and high VSTM loads. Behavioral re...
متن کاملParietal structure and function explain human variation in working memory biases of visual attention
Recent research indicates that human attention appears inadvertently biased by items that match the contents of working memory (WM). WM-biases can lead to attentional costs when the memory content matches goal-irrelevant items and to attentional benefits when it matches the sought target. Here we used functional and structural MRI data to determine the neural basis of human variation in WM bias...
متن کاملEffectiveness of working memory intervention in behavior inhibition and visual working memory of children with Attention Deficit/ impulsive subtype Disorder (ADHD-I)
The aim of the current research study was to determine the effectiveness of working memory intervention on behavioral inhibition and visual working memory in children with symptoms of attention-deficit/impulsivity disorder in Selseleh city. The method was a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of all boy students of 8-12 years o...
