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 …

Visual working memory capacity is of great interest because it is strongly correlated with
overall cognitive ability, can be understood at the level of neural circuits, and is easily …

'Working Memory, Thought, and Action'is the magnum opus of one of the most influential
cognitive psychologists of the past 50 years. This new volume on the model he created (with …

Limits on the storage capacity of working memory significantly affect cognitive abilities in a
wide range of domains, but the nature of these capacity limits has been elusive. Some …

The article introduces an interference model of working memory for information in a
continuous similarity space, such as the features of visual objects. The model incorporates …

The theory of event coding (TEC) is a general framework explaining how perceived and
produced events (stimuli and responses) are cognitively represented and how their …

The episodic buffer component of working memory is assumed to play a role in the binding
of features into chunks. A series of experiments compared memory for arrays of colors or …

The brain has finite processing resources so that, as tasks become harder, performance
degrades. Where do the limits on these resources come from? We focus on a variety of …

How long does it take to form a durable representation in visual working memory? Several
theorists have proposed that this consolidation process is very slow. Here, we measured the …

Using the concepts of chaotic dynamical systems, we present an interpretation of dynamic
neural activity found in cortical and subcortical areas. The discovery of chaotic itinerancy in …
