High visual working memory capacity in trait social anxiety. [PDF]
Working memory capacity is one of the most important cognitive functions influencing individual traits, such as attentional control, fluid intelligence, and also psychopathological traits.

Visual working memory capacity and proactive interference. [PDF]
Visual working memory capacity is extremely limited and appears to be relatively immune to practice effects or the use of explicit strategies. The recent discovery that visual working memory tasks, like verbal working memory tasks, are subject to ...

Sensory stimulation enhances visual working memory capacity [PDF]
Visual working memory (vWM) plays a crucial role in visual information processing and higher cognitive functions; however, it has a very limited capacity. Recently, several studies have successfully modulated vWM capacity in humans using entrainment with

Transdiagnostic comparison of visual working memory capacity in bipolar disorder and schizophrenia [PDF]
Background Impaired working memory is a core cognitive deficit in both bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Its study might yield crucial insights into the underpinnings of both disorders on the cognitive and neurophysiological level.

The sensory components of high-capacity iconic memory and visual working memory [PDF]
Early visual memory can be split into two primary components: a high-capacity, short-lived iconic memory followed by a limited-capacity visual working memory that can last many seconds.

Visual working memory capacity for color is independent of representation resolution. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:The relationship between visual working memory (VWM) capacity and resolution of representation have been extensively investigated. Several recent ERP studies using orientation (or arrow) stimuli suggest that there is an inverse relationship ...

The reliability of estimating visual working memory capacity. [PDF]
AbstractThe reliability of estimations of working memory capacity has not been thoroughly examined. The present study examined the test-retest reliability for working memory capacity as estimated in a lateralized change detection task, which is frequently used in studies involving electroencephalography.

The reliability and stability of visual working memory capacity. [PDF]
Because of the central role of working memory capacity in cognition, many studies have used short measures of working memory capacity to examine its relationship to other domains. Here, we measured the reliability and stability of visual working memory capacity, measured using a single-probe change detection task. In Experiment 1, the participants (N =

Effects of strategy on visual working memory capacity. [PDF]
Substantial evidence suggests that individual differences in estimates of working memory capacity reflect differences in how effectively people use their intrinsic storage capacity. This suggests that estimated capacity could be increased by instructions that encourage more effective encoding strategies.

An assessment of fixed-capacity models of visual working memory [PDF]
Visual working memory is often modeled as having a fixed number of slots. We test this model by assessing the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) of participants in a visual-working-memory change-detection task. ROC plots yielded straight lines with a slope of 1.0, a tell-tale characteristic of all-or-none mnemonic representations.
