Discrete resource allocation in visual working memory.
Are resources in visual working memory allocated in a continuous or a discrete fashion? On one hand, flexible resource models suggest that capacity is determined by a central resource pool that can be flexibly divided such that items of greater complexity receive a larger share of resources. On the other hand, if capacity in working memory is defined in terms of discrete storage "slots," then o...
متن کاملDiscrete capacity limits in visual working memory.
The amount of information we can actively maintain 'in mind' is very limited. This capacity limitation, known as working memory (WM) capacity, has been of great interest because of its wide scope influence on the variety of intellectual abilities. Recently, there has been an ongoing debate about how this capacity should be best characterized. One viewpoint argues that WM capacity is allocated i...
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 کاملMask similarity impacts short-term consolidation in visual working memory.
Short-term consolidation is the process by which perceptual representations are stabilized into visual working memory (VWM) representations to prevent interference from subsequent visual input. The present article reports how short-term consolidation is affected by the similarity of the subsequent visual items (i.e., visual masks) by using a color change detection task. In the task, masks were ...
متن کاملIs perception discrete or continuous?
How does conscious perception evolve following stimulus presentation? The idea that perception relies on discrete processing epochs has been often considered, but never widely accepted. The alternative, a continuous translation of the external world into explicit perception, although more intuitive and subjectively appealing, cannot satisfactorily account for a large body of psychophysical data...
