Variability in the quality of visual working memory [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2012 Working memory is a mental storage system that keeps task-relevant information accessible for a brief span of time, and it is strikingly limited. Its limits differ substantially across people but are assumed to be fixed for a given person. Here we show that there is substantial variability in the quality of working memory representations within an ...

Autistic traits are associated with enhanced working memory capacity for abstract visual stimuli
Acta Psychologica, 2023 We tested whether the association between autistic traits and enhanced performance in visual-perceptual tasks extends to visual working memory capacity.

Visual working memory performance in aphantasia [PDF]
Cortex, 2018 Aphantasia, i.e., the congenital inability to experience voluntary mental imagery, offers a new model for studying the functional role of mental imagery in (visual) cognition. However, until now, there have been no studies investigating whether aphantasia can be linked to specific impairments in cognitive functioning.

Auditory and visual spatial working memory [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 2006 A series of experiments compared short-term memory for object locations in the auditory and visual modalities. The stimulus materials consisted of sounds and pictures presented at different locations in space. Items were presented in pure- or mixed-modality lists of increasing length.

Frontoparietal tDCS Benefits Visual Working Memory in Older Adults With Low Working Memory Capacity
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2018 Working memory (WM) permits maintenance of information over brief delays and is an essential executive function. Unfortunately, WM is subject to age-related decline.

PyVDT: A PsychoPy-Based Visual Sequence Detection Task
Journal of Open Research Software, 2016 PyVDT is a computerized test consisting of two brief visual sequence detection tasks in which participants watch single digits displayed on screen and respond whenever target digit sequences (even – odd – even) are displayed.

Attentional Templates in Visual Working Memory [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience, 2011 Most theories of attention propose that we maintain attentional templates in visual working memory to control what information is selected. In the present study, we directly tested this proposal by measuring the contralateral-delay activity (CDA) of human event-related potentials during visual search tasks in which the target is cued on each trial ...
