Changes in the capacity of visual working memory in 5- to 10-year-olds [PDF]
, 2006 Using the Luck and Vogel change detection paradigm, we sought to investigate the capacity of visual working memory in 5-, 7-, and 10-year-olds. We found that performance on the task improved significantly with age and also obtained evidence that the ...

Visuospatial tasks suppress craving for cigarettes. [PDF]
, 2010 The Elaborated Intrusion (EI) theory of desire posits that visual imagery plays a key role in craving. We report a series of experiments testing this hypothesis in a drug addiction context.

Individual Differences in Working Memory and the N2pc
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 The lateralized ERP N2pc component has been shown to be an effective marker of attentional object selection when elicited in a visual search task, specifically reflecting the selection of a target item among distractors.

Interactions between visual working memory representations [PDF]
Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2017 We investigated whether the representations of different objects are maintained independently in working memory or interact with each other. Observers were shown two sequentially presented orientations and required to reproduce each orientation after a delay.

The cognitive neuroscience of visual working memory [PDF]
, 2017 Visual working memory allows us to temporarily maintain and manipulate visual information in order to solve a task. The study of the brain mechanisms underlying this function began more than half a century ago, with Scoville and Milner’s (1957) seminal ...

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.

Similarity effects in visual working memory [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2015 Perceptual similarity is an important property of multiple stimuli. Its computation supports a wide range of cognitive functions, including reasoning, categorization, and memory recognition. It is important, therefore, to determine why previous research has found conflicting effects of inter-item similarity on visual working memory. Studies reporting a

F211. Finding and fixing attentional dysfunction in schizophrenia [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND Schizophrenia is the most debilitating health problem that exists, and its cognitive impairments are the greatest predictor of disability. Since the earliest clinical descriptions of the illness, abnormalities of attention have been at the ...

Visual search within working memory.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2018 Attention and working memory are 2 key pillars of cognition. Despite much research, there are important aspects about the relationship between the 2 constructs that are not well understood. Here we explore the similarity in the mechanisms that select and update working memory to those that guide attention during perception, such as in visual search. We
