From Specificity to Sensitivity: Affective states modulate visual working memory for emotional expressive faces

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
Previous findings suggest that visual working memory preferentially remembers angry looking faces. However, the meaning of facial actions is construed in relation to context. To date, there are no studies investigating the role of perceiver-based context

Visual working memory contents bias ambiguous structure from motion perception [PDF]

, 2013
The way we perceive the visual world depends crucially on the state of the observer. In the present study we show that what we are holding in working memory (WM) can bias the way we perceive ambiguous structure from motion stimuli.

Microsaccades and Visual-Spatial Working Memory

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 ...

Working memory representations in visual cortex mediate distraction effects

Nature Communications, 2021
The relative roles of visual, parietal, and frontal cortex in working memory have been actively debated. Here, the authors show that distraction impacts visual working memory representations in primary visual areas, indicating that these regions play a ...

Opening Questions in Visual Working Memory

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2022
Abstract In this reflective piece on visual working memory, I depart from the laboriously honed skills of writing a review. Instead of integrating approaches, synthesizing evidence, and building a cohesive perspective, I scratch my head and share niggles and puzzlements.

Visual working memory contaminates perception [PDF]

Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2011
Indirect evidence suggests that the contents of visual working memory may be maintained within sensory areas early in the visual hierarchy. We tested this possibility using a well-studied motion repulsion phenomenon in which perception of one direction of motion is distorted when another direction of motion is viewed simultaneously.

Visual-spatial Working Memory Span of Indonesian Children with Deafness in Oral, Total, and Sign Language Communication Methods

Psychological Research on Urban Society, 2020
Children with hearing impairment or deafness experience cognitive function delays but not limited visual-spatial working memory, which is commonly used to solve mathematical problems. Previous studies have discovered that visual or spatial working memory

Diminished time-based, but undiminished event-based, prospective memory among intellectually high-functioning adults with autism: Relation to working memory ability. [PDF]

, 2013
Objective: Prospective memory (PM) is the ability to remember to carry out an intended action. Working memory is the ability to store information in mind while processing potentially distracting information.
