Measuring memory is harder than you think: How to avoid problematic measurement practices in memory research

TF Brady, MM Robinson, JR Williams… - Psychonomic Bulletin & …, 2023‏ - Springer
We argue that critical areas of memory research rely on problematic measurement practices
and provide concrete suggestions to improve the situation. In particular, we highlight the …

You cannot “count” how many items people remember in visual working memory: The importance of signal detection–based measures for understanding change …

JR Williams, MM Robinson, MW Schurgin… - Journal of …, 2022‏ - psycnet.apa.org
Change detection tasks are commonly used to measure and understand the nature of visual
working memory capacity. Across three experiments, we examine whether the nature of the …

The influence of depth on object selection and manipulation in visual working memory within a 3D context

J Qian, B Fu, Z Gao, B Tan - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2024‏ - Springer
Recent studies have examined whether the internal selection mechanism functions similarly
for perception and visual working memory (VWM). However, the process of how we access …

Scaling up visual attention and visual working memory to the real world

TF Brady, VS Störmer, A Shafer-Skelton… - Psychology of learning …, 2019‏ - Elsevier
Both visual attention and visual working memory tend to be studied either with very simple
stimuli and low-level paradigms, which are designed to allow us to understand the …

[HTML][HTML] The short-term retention of depth

A Reeves, J Qian - Vision, 2021‏ - mdpi.com
We review research on the visual working memory for information portrayed by items
arranged in depth (ie, distance to the observer) within peri-personal space. Most items lose …

[HTML][HTML] Brain processing of complex geometric forms in a visual memory task increases P2 amplitude

HA Cepeda-Freyre, G Garcia-Aguilar, JR Eguibar… - Brain Sciences, 2020‏ - mdpi.com
We study the cognitive processing of visual working memory in three different conditions of
memory load and configuration change. Altering this features has been shown to alter the …

Visual working memory for connected 3D objects: effects of stimulus complexity, dimensionality and connectivity

C He, P Gunalp, HS Meyerhoff, Z Rathbun… - Cognitive Research …, 2022‏ - Springer
Visual working memory (VWM) is typically measured using arrays of two-dimensional
isolated stimuli with simple visual identities (eg, color or shape), and these studies typically …

Spatial attention based on 2D location and relative depth order modulates visual working memory in a 3D environment

W Fang, K Wang, K Zhang… - British Journal of …, 2023‏ - Wiley Online Library
The attentional effect on visual working memory (VWM) has been a heated research topic in
the past two decades. Studies show that VWM performance for an attended memory item …

Effect of attentional selection on working memory for depth in a retro-cueing paradigm

Z Li, M Tong, S Chen, J Qian - Memory & Cognition, 2021‏ - Springer
Recent studies have shown that the temporary storage and manipulation of depth
information (working memory for depth; WMd) is largely different from that of visual …

J Qian, K Zhang - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2019‏ - Springer
Most studies on visual working memory (VWM) and spatial working memory (SWM) have
employed visual stimuli presented at the fronto-parallel plane and few have involved depth …
