Modelling the relationship between visual short-term memory capacity and recall ability [PDF]
, 2008 Previous cognitive modelling work has suggested that the decline of short-term memory (STM) capacity is the dominant factor of age-related decline on recall ability. We report the results of a set of experiments investigating in further detail the effect

Functional imaging reveals working memory and attention interact to produce the attentional blink [PDF]
, 2012 Copyright @ 2012 Massachusetts Institute of Technology PressIf two centrally presented visual stimuli occur within approximately half a second of each other, the second target often fails to be reported correctly.

Visual Working Memory Capacity in Patients with Temporal Lobe Glioma
European Neurology, 2022 Introduction: Working memory (WM) refers to the temporary storage and manipulation of information. Short-term memory storage can be divided into separate subsystems for verbal information and visual information. We explored the capacity of visual WM in patients with temporal lobe glioma.

The role of attention in binding visual features in working memory : evidence from cognitive ageing [PDF]
, 2009 Two experiments were conducted to assess the costs of attentional load during a feature (colour-shape) binding task in younger and older adults. Experiment 1 showed that a demanding backwards counting task, which draws upon central executive/general ...

Age-Related Change in Visual Working Memory: A study of 55,753 Participants Aged 8 to 75
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Visual working memory abilities of 55,753 individuals between the ages of 8 and 75 were assessed to provide the most fine-grain analysis of age-related change in visual working memory to date. Results showed that visual working memory changes throughout

Affective bias in visual working memory is associated with capacity
Cognition and Emotion, 2016 How does the affective nature of task stimuli modulate working memory (WM)? This study investigates whether WM maintains emotional information in a biased manner to meet the motivational principle of approaching positivity and avoiding negativity by retaining more approach-related positive content over avoidance-related negative content.

Attentional demand influences strategies for encoding into visual working memory
, 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.

Semantic knowledge influences visual working memory in adults and children.
PLoS ONE, 2020 We can retain only a portion of the visual information that we encounter within our visual working memory. Which factors influence how much information we can remember?

Task rules, working memory, and fluid intelligence [PDF]
, 2012 Many varieties of working memory have been linked to fluid intelligence. In Duncan et al. (Journal of Experimental Psychology:General 137:131–148, 2008), we described limited working memory for new task rules: When rules are complex, some may fail in ...

Learning-Induced Plasticity Enhances the Capacity of Visual Working Memory
Psychological Science, 2023 Visual working memory (VWM) is limited in capacity, though memorizing meaningful objects may refine this limitation. However, meaningful and meaningless stimuli typically differ perceptually, and objects’ associations with meaning are usually already established outside the laboratory, potentially confounding experimental findings.
