    Working memory capacity for biological motion: a virtual reality examination

    Biological motion (BM), the movements of animate entities, contains rich social information and has been extensively explored in visual science. Consistent with a fixed-capacity view of working memory (WM), pr...

    Does the presence of more features in a bound representation in working memory require extra object-based attention?

    Recent studies have examined the role of attention in retaining bound representations in working memory (WM) and found that object-based attention plays a pivotal role. However, no study has investigated wheth...

    Object-based attention in retaining binding in working memory: Influence of activation states of working memory

    It has been suggested that retaining bindings in working memory (WM) requires more object-based attention than retaining constituent features. Recent studies have found that when memorized stimuli are presente...

    Working memory capacity of biological movements predicts empathy traits

    Working memory (WM) and empathy are core issues in cognitive and social science, respectively. However, no study so far has explored the relationship between these two constructs. Considering that empathy take...

    Does high memory load kick task-irrelevant information out of visual working memory?

    The limited capacity of visual working memory (VWM) requires the existence of an efficient information selection mechanism. While it has been shown that under low VWM load, an irrelevant simple feature can be ...

    Priming global and local processing of composite faces: revisiting the processing-bias effect on face perception

    We used the composite-face illusion and Navon stimuli to determine the consequences of priming local or global processing on subsequent face recognition. The composite-face illusion reflects the difficulty of ...

    The reconfiguration of task set has no effect on the efficiency of feature search

    In this study, we investigated whether or not the reconfiguration of a set task could modulate the efficiency of feature search. In Experiment 1, target set size was manipulated. The results revealed that enum...
