Microsaccades and Visual-Spatial Working Memory [PDF]
Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2012 Observers performed working memory tasks at varying retinal eccentricities, fixating centrally while microsaccade rates and directions were monitored. We show that microsaccades generate no interference in a working memory task, indicating that spatial ...

Amodal completion in visual working memory. [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2016 Amodal completion refers to the perceptual "filling-in" of partly occluded object fragments. Previous work has shown that object completion occurs efficiently, at early perceptual stages of processing. However, despite efficient early completion, at a later stage, the maintenance of complete-object representations in visual working memory (VWM) may be ...

The voluntary utilization of visual working memory [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWhile a vast amount of research has focused on understanding the capacity limits of visual working memory (VWM), little is known about how VWM resources are employed in unforced behavior and how they correlate with individual capacity constraints.

Transcranial photobiomodulation enhances visual working memory capacity in humans
bioRxiv, 2022 Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) is a novel and noninvasive intervention, which has shown promise for improving cognitive performances. Whether tPBM can modulate brain activity and thereby enhance working memory (WM) capacity in humans remains ...

An adaptive perspective on visual working memory distortions.
Journal of experimental psychology. General, 2022 When holding multiple items in visual working memory, representations of individual items are often attracted to, or repelled from, each other. While this is empirically well-established, existing frameworks do not account for both types of distortions ...

Storage in Visual Working Memory Recruits a Content-Independent Pointer System
Psychology Science, 2022 Past work has shown that storage in working memory elicits stimulus-specific neural activity that tracks the stored content. Here, we present evidence for a distinct class of load-sensitive neural activity that indexes items without representing their ...

Controlling attention to nociceptive stimuli with working memory [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Because pain often signals the occurrence of potential tissue damage, a nociceptive stimulus has the capacity to involuntarily capture attention and take priority over other sensory inputs.

Visual Memory Scan Slopes: Their Changes over the First Two Seconds of Processing
Vision, 2021 Using the prime–probe comparison paradigm, Jacob, Breitmeyer, and Treviño (2013) demonstrated that information processing in visual short-term memory (VSTM) proceeds through three stages: sensory visible persistence (SVP), nonvisible informational ...
