The effects of two types of sleep deprivation on visual working memory capacity and filtering efficiency. [PDF]
Sleep deprivation has adverse consequences for a variety of cognitive functions. The exact effects of sleep deprivation, though, are dependent upon the cognitive process examined.

Overlapping functional anatomy for working memory and visual search [PDF]
Recent behavioural findings using dual-task paradigms demonstrate the importance of both spatial and non-spatial working memory processes in inefficient visual search (Anderson et al. in Exp Psychol 55:301-312, 2008).

Capacity limitations of visual memory in two-interval comparison of Gabor arrays [PDF]
The capacity of short-term visual memory (VSTM) was assessed in a two-interval spatial frequency (SF) discrimination task. The cued Gabor target in a multi-element array either increased or decreased in SF across a 2s interstimulus interval (ISI ...

Visual Working Memory Capacity in Patients with Temporal Lobe Glioma
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.

Learning-Induced Plasticity Enhances the Capacity of Visual Working Memory
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.

Age-Related Change in Visual Working Memory: A study of 55,753 Participants Aged 8 to 75
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

Integrated cross-domain object storage in working memory: Evidence from a verbal-spatial memory task [PDF]
Working-memory theories often include domain-specific verbal and visual stores (e.g., the phonological and visuospatial buffers of Baddeley, 1986), and some also posit more general stores thought to be capable of holding verbal or visuospatial materials (

Affective bias in visual working memory is associated with capacity
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.

The capacity of visual imagery, visual working memory and visual short-term memory for features
Previous research found that the number of items that can be maintained in imagination is severely capacity limited, and its capacity is lower than that of working memory (Atkin, Guest, Howard, Baguley & Baker, in preparation).
