Spatial Transposition Gradients in Visual Working Memory

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2014
In list memory, access to individual items reflects limits of temporal distinctiveness. This is reflected in the finding that neighbouring list items tend to be confused most often. This article investigates the analogous effect of spatial proximity in a visual working-memory task. Items were presented in different locations varying in spatial distance.

Spatial monitoring in visual working memory

British Journal of Psychology, 1989
Three experiments examined the role of spatial monitoring in short‐term visual memory. In the first experiment it was found that with consonants presented visually at one location articulatory suppression but not a concurrent tracking task disrupted performance. Experiment 2 demonstrated that tracking was disruptive when consonants

The development of visuo-spatial working memory

Memory, 2001
Children's performance on tests of visuo-spatial working memory improves with age, although relatively little is known about why this happens. One explanation concerns the development of the ability to recode visually presented information into phonological form.

Visuo-Spatial Processing in Working Memory

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Section A, 1986
This paper reports four experiments designed to develop a simple technique for the study of visuo-spatial processing within the working memory framework (Baddeley and Hitch, 1974). Experiment 1 involved the matching of successively presented random matrix patterns, as a secondary visual suppression task. This was coupled with rote rehearsal or a visual

Rehearsal in spatial working memory.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1998
This article reports 3 experiments that tested a hypothesis regarding the nature of rehearsal in spatial working memory, one in which discrete shifts of spatial selective attention mediate the maintenance of location-specific representations. Experiment 1 demonstrated increases in visual processing efficiency for locations held in working memory, which

Complexity factors in visuospatial working memory

Memory, 2004
Three experiments are presented that use a technique of selective interference--irrelevant pictures--to develop our understanding of visuo-spatial working memory. Visual noise fields are used as the irrelevant pictures. Using two related measures of simple visual complexity, the experiments demonstrate that the greater the complexity the greater the ...

The Effects of Visual and Spatial Interference on Spatial Working Memory

The Journal of General Psychology, 1984
Baddeley and Lieberman (1980) have shown that processing within spatial working memory is disrupted by a spatial secondary task, but not significantly by a visual processing secondary task. In the present study their experiment was replicated under broadly similar circumstances.

Visuospatial working memory and the processing of spatial descriptions

British Journal of Psychology, 2006
The dual‐task paradigm was used to determine whether the spatial, visual and verbal components of working memory are engaged in the processing of spatial descriptions. Participants listened to route or survey descriptions of urban‐like spatial environments and then drew corresponding maps. The position of each new landmark was described either in terms

Spatial and Nonspatial Working Memory and Visual Search

Psychological Reports, 2011
It has been indicated that visual search is interfered with in spatial working memory (WM), although not in nonspatial WM. In this study, the effects on visual search of individual differences in spatial and nonspatial WM were examined. Two visual search conditions were used: a conjunction search condition comprising two features (color and shape) and ...
