Reports have conflicted about the possible special role of location in visual working memory
(WM). One important question is: Do we maintain the locations of objects in WM even when …

Introduction Within the maintenance phase of visual working memory (VWM), previous
researchers presented retro-cues orienting to a probed dimension across all multidimension …

In visual working memory (VWM) tasks, participants' performances can be improved through
the use of dimension-based retro-cues, which direct internal attention to prioritize a …

The relation between visual working memory (VWM) capacity and attention has attracted
much interest. In this study, we investigated the correlation between the participants' VWM …

Although a considerable literature has grown up around the interactions between emotional
state and visual working memory (VWM) performance, the mechanism underlying the impact …

Human observers often exhibit remarkable consistency in remembering specific visual
details, such as certain face images. This phenomenon is commonly attributed to visual …

Two broad theories of visual working memory (VWM) storage have emerged from current
research, a discrete slot-based theory and a continuous resource theory. However, neither …

Two hypotheses have been proposed to explain the formation manner for visual working
memory (VWM) representations during the consolidation process: an all-or-none process …

External distractions often occur when information must be retained in visual working
memory (VWM)—a crucial element in cognitive processing and everyday activities …

We investigated the extents of automaticity in location and orientation encoding in visual
working memory (VWM) by manipulating their task relevance and assessing the amount of …
