Similarity-based distortion of visual short-term memory is due to perceptual averaging
A task-irrelevant stimulus can distort recall from visual short-term memory (VSTM). Specifically, reproduction of a task-relevant memory item is biased in the direction of the irrelevant memory item (Huang & Sekuler, 2010a). The present study addresses the hypothesis that such effects reflect the influence of neural averaging under conditions of uncertainty about the contents of VSTM (Alvarez, ...
متن کاملSimilarity-based distortion of short-term visual memory is perceptual
A task-irrelevant stimulus can distort recall from visual short-term memory. Specifically, the recalled stimulus can take on some of the appearance of an accompanying task-irrelevant stimulus (Huang & Sekuler, 2010a). However, the locus of this robust effect is unknown as it is unclear whether distortion is generated early, during perceptual encoding of target stimuli, or later, during some pos...
متن کاملObligatory and adaptive averaging in visual short-term memory.
Visual memory can draw upon averaged perceptual representations, a dependence that could be both adaptive and obligatory. In support of this idea, we review a wide range of evidence, including findings from our own lab. This evidence shows that time- and space-averaged memory representations influence detection and recognition responses, and do so without instruction to compute or report an ave...
متن کاملIs visual short-term memory depthful?
Does visual short-term memory (VSTM) depend on depth, as it might be if information was stored in more than one depth layer? Depth is critical in natural viewing and might be expected to affect retention, but whether this is so is currently unknown. Cued partial reports of letter arrays (Sperling, 1960) were measured up to 700 ms after display termination. Adding stereoscopic depth hardly affec...
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 ...
