Serial Position Markers in Space: Visuospatial Priming of Serial Order Working Memory Retrieval
Most general theories on serial order working memory (WM) assume the existence of position markers that are bound to the to-be-remembered items to keep track of the serial order. So far, the exact cognitive/neural characteristics of these markers have remained largely underspecified, while direct empirical evidence for their existence is mostly lacking. In the current study we demonstrate that ...
متن کاملNeural measures link attention and serial order in working memory
Working memory, the focus of intensive behavioural, neural, and computational study, is integral to a wide range of human intellectual achievements 1, 2. One of working memory's notable attributes, its limited capacity, has been linked to limitations on attentional resources 2-13. We asked whether attention might also govern the second of working memory's key attributes, the serial ordering of ...
متن کاملSerial attention within working memory.
It is proposed that people are limited to attending to just one "object" in working memory (WM) at any one time. Consequently, many cognitive tasks, and much of everyday thought, necessitate switches between WM items. The research to be presented measured the time involved in switching attention between objects in WM and sought to elaborate the processes underlying such switches. Two experiment...
متن کاملFinding the answer in space: the mental whiteboard hypothesis on serial order in working memory
Various prominent models on serial order coding in working memory (WM) build on the notion that serial order is achieved by binding the various items to-be-maintained to fixed position markers. Despite being relatively successful in accounting for empirical observations and some recent neuro-imaging support, these models were largely formulated on theoretical grounds and few specifications have...
متن کاملSpatial attention interacts with serial-order retrieval from verbal working memory.
The ability to maintain the serial order of events is recognized as a major function of working memory. Although general models of working memory postulate a close link between working memory and attention, such a link has so far not been proposed specifically for serial-order working memory. The present study provided the first empirical demonstration of a direct link between serial order in v...
