Changing concepts of working memory

WJ Ma, M Husain, PM Bays - Nature neuroscience, 2014‏ - nature.com
Working memory is widely considered to be limited in capacity, holding a fixed, small
number of items, such as Miller's' magical number'seven or Cowan's four. It has recently …

The contralateral delay activity as a neural measure of visual working memory

R Luria, H Balaban, E Awh, EK Vogel - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral …, 2016‏ - Elsevier
The contralateral delay activity (CDA) is a negative slow wave sensitive to the number of
objects maintained in visual working memory (VWM). In recent years, a growing number of …

Working memory is not fixed-capacity: More active storage capacity for real-world objects than for simple stimuli

TF Brady, VS Störmer, GA Alvarez - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016‏ - pnas.org
Visual working memory is the cognitive system that holds visual information active to make it
resistant to interference from new perceptual input. Information about simple stimuli—colors …

Discrete capacity limits in visual working memory

K Fukuda, E Awh, EK Vogel - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2010‏ - Elsevier
The amount of information we can actively maintain 'in mind'is very limited. This capacity
limitation, known as working memory (WM) capacity, has been of great interest because of …

A multisensory perspective of working memory

M Quak, RE London, D Talsma - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2015‏ - frontiersin.org
Although our sensory experience is mostly multisensory in nature, research on working
memory representations has focused mainly on examining the senses in isolation. Results …

How the motor system integrates with working memory

CL Marvel, OP Morgan, SI Kronemer - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral …, 2019‏ - Elsevier
Working memory is vital for basic functions in everyday life. During working memory, one
holds a finite amount of information in mind until it is no longer required or when resources …

Contralateral delay activity provides a neural measure of the number of representations in visual working memory

A Ikkai, AW McCollough… - Journal of …, 2010‏ - journals.physiology.org
Visual working memory (VWM) helps to temporarily represent information from the visual
environment and is severely limited in capacity. Recent work has linked various forms of …

Shape and color conjunction stimuli are represented as bound objects in visual working memory

R Luria, EK Vogel - Neuropsychologia, 2011‏ - Elsevier
The integrated object view of visual working memory (WM) argues that objects (rather than
features) are the building block of visual WM, so that adding an extra feature to an object …

Greater visual working memory capacity for visually matched stimuli when they are perceived as meaningful

IE Asp, VS Störmer, TF Brady - Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 2021‏ - direct.mit.edu
Almost all models of visual working memory—the cognitive system that holds visual
information in an active state—assume it has a fixed capacity: Some models propose a limit …

An ideal observer analysis of visual working memory.

CR Sims, RA Jacobs, DC Knill - Psychological review, 2012‏ - psycnet.apa.org
Limits in visual working memory (VWM) strongly constrain human performance across many
tasks. However, the nature of these limits is not well understood. In this article we develop an …
