Representation and computation in visual working memory

PM Bays, S Schneegans, WJ Ma, TF Brady - Nature Human Behaviour, 2024‏ - nature.com
The ability to sustain internal representations of the sensory environment beyond immediate
perception is a fundamental requirement of cognitive processing. In recent years, debates …

Noisy and hierarchical visual memory across timescales

TF Brady, MM Robinson, JR Williams - Nature Reviews Psychology, 2024‏ - nature.com
Both in everyday life and in memory research, people tend to think that items are 'held'in
mind, in the same way that a real-world object can be held in one's hand. Inspired by this …

[HTML][HTML] Shifting attention between perception and working memory

D Gresch, SEP Boettcher, F van Ede, AC Nobre - Cognition, 2024‏ - Elsevier
Most everyday tasks require shifting the focus of attention between sensory signals in the
external environment and internal contents in working memory. To date, shifts of attention …

Serial dependence: A matter of memory load

YA Markov, NA Tiurina, D Pascucci - Heliyon, 2024‏ - cell.com
In serial dependence, perceptual decisions are biased towards stimuli encountered in the
recent past. Here, we investigate whether and how serial dependence is affected by the …

Bend but don't break: Prioritization protects working memory from displacement but leaves it vulnerable to distortion from distraction

Z Zhang, JA Lewis-Peacock - Cognition, 2023‏ - Elsevier
Perceptual distraction distorts visual working memory representations. Previous research
has shown that memory responses are systematically biased towards passively viewed …

Prioritization sharpens working memories but does not protect them from distraction.

Z Zhang, JA Lewis-Peacock - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2023‏ - psycnet.apa.org
Perceptual distraction distorts visual working memory representations. Previous research
has shown that memory responses are systematically biased toward visual distractors that …

Feature-based attention warps the perception of visual features

AF Chapman, C Chunharas, VS Störmer - Scientific Reports, 2023‏ - nature.com
Selective attention improves sensory processing of relevant information but can also impact
the quality of perception. For example, attention increases visual discrimination performance …

Multiple and dissociable effects of sensory history on working-memory performance

JE Hajonides, F van Ede, MG Stokes… - Journal of …, 2023‏ - jneurosci.org
Behavioral reports of sensory information are biased by stimulus history. The nature and
direction of such serial-dependence biases can differ between experimental settings; both …

Object feature memory is distorted by category structure

MC Tandoc, CV Dong, AC Schapiro - Open Mind, 2024‏ - direct.mit.edu
Memory systems constantly confront the challenge of capturing both the shared features that
connect experiences together and the unique features that distinguish them. Across two …

Event segmentation structures temporal experience: Simultaneous dilation and contraction in rhythmic reproductions.

JDK Ongchoco, TS Yates, BJ Scholl - Journal of Experimental …, 2023‏ - psycnet.apa.org
We experience the world in terms of both (continuous) time and (discrete) events, but time
seems especially primitive—since we cannot perceive events without an underlying …
