Studies have explored how human spatial attention appears allocated in three-dimensional
(3D) space. It has been demonstrated that target distance from the viewer can modulate …

Attention has been regarded as the 'gatekeeper'controlling what information gets selected
into working memory. However, a new perspective has emerged with the discovery of …

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 …

Many models of attention assume that attentional selection takes place at a specific moment
in time that demarcates the critical transition from pre-attentive to attentive processing of …

A quintessential challenge for any perceptual system is the need to focus on task-relevant
information without being blindsided by unexpected, yet important information. The human …

What is the unit of visual working memory? This is a question fundamental to our
understanding of how the human mind represents the visual world. Here, I challenge the …

Research on the development of cognitive selectivity predominantly focuses on attentional
selection. The present study explores another facet of cognitive selectivity—memory …

Attention has traditionally been regarded as a gateway to working memory, and almost all
theoretical frameworks of attention and working memory assume that individuals always …

Previous evidence demonstrated that individuals can recall a target's location in a search
display even if location information is completely task-irrelevant. This finding raises the …

Across a broad range of stimulus types and tasks (16 stimulus types× 26 tasks, 1,744
observers in total), the present study employed an individual-item differences analysis to …
