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.

Poor Sleep Quality and Compromised Visual Working Memory Capacity. [PDF]
J Int Neuropsychol Soc, 2019 AbstractObjectives:Reduction in the amount of information (storage capacity) retained in working memory (WM) has been associated with sleep loss. The present study examined whether reduced WM capacity is also related to poor everyday sleep quality and, more importantly, whether the effects of sleep quality could be dissociated from the effects of ...

Aging and visual feature binding in working memory [PDF]
, 2013 This chapter examines the question of how the features or elements (e.g. shape, color, or spatial location) of a stimulus that is encountered in the visual environment are bound together in working memory to form an integrated representation.

How are patterned movements stored in working memory?
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 IntroductionIn this study, the change detection paradigm was used to study the working memory of patterned movements and the relationship of this type of memory with the visuospatial sketchpad in three experiments.MethodsExperiment 1 measured ...

Attentional demand influences strategies for encoding into visual working memory [PDF]
, 2011 Visual selective attention and visual working memory (WM) share the same capacity-limited resources. We investigated whether and how participants can cope with a task in which these 2 mechanisms interfere.

Spatial Separation and Working Memory Capacity Affect Selective Visual Attention in the Periphery
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 The current study aimed to examine the effects of spatial separation and working memory capacity on selective visual attention. We investigated differences in the ability to identify the two covertly attended stimuli that appeared either along one of the

Models of verbal working memory capacity: What does it take to make them work? [PDF]
, 2012 Theories of working memory (WM) capacity limits will be more useful when we know what aspects of performance are governed by the limits and what aspects are governed by other memory mechanisms.

Does Blindness Boost Working Memory? A Natural Experiment and Cross-Cultural Study
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Intelligence requires sufficient working-memory capacity. Traditionally, working memory was seen as a process and as a prerequisite for fluid intelligence. Working memory was assumed to be determined by maturation and health.

Transcranial photobiomodulation enhances visual working memory capacity in humans [PDF]
Science Advances, 2022 Abstract 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 unclear.
