Microsaccades and Visual-Spatial Working Memory
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ability to remember and manipulate information is essential to human cognitive processes. Working memory (WM) is pervasive as a workspace for mental processes that make up momentary, explicit consciousness. Not only does the function of WM include simple temporary storage, or short-term memory (STM), but also more complex processes that manipulate and transform stored representations (Miyake & Shah, 1999). There are several perspectives on the organization of these functions (Baddeley & Hitch, 1974; Logie, 1995; Cowan, 1999; Cornoldi & Vecchi, 2003); common among them is storage of short-term, domain-specific (verbal, visual, spatial) representations that are rehearsed, manipulated, or otherwise operated upon by active executive processes. Microsaccade patterns evoked during working memory tasks are less well understood.

متن کاملInteraction of sensory experience and age in spatial memory performances
During a critical period of postnatal age sensory experience has a profound effect on maturation of visual cortical wiring. Electrophysiological evidence is indicating a substantial effect of visual deprivation on the visual cortical response properties. In this study we evaluated effect of light deprivation during a limited time of postnatal age on two aspects of spatial (working and reference...
