The effect of visual working memory load on attentional bias in social anxiety
Social anxiety is closely associated with abnormal attentional bias toward threatening stimuli. Although working memory plays an important role in...

Effects of object working memory load on visual search in basketball players: an eye movement study
BackgroundWorking memory may affect the athletes’ visual search ability. Objective: This study aimed to examine the differences in the performance of...
-
Boundary conditions for observing cognitive load effects in visual working memory
When holding information in working memory, the proportion of time occupied by a concurrent task determines memory performance. This effect, the...

Activated long-term memory and visual working memory during hybrid visual search: Effects on target memory search and distractor memory
In hybrid visual search, observers must maintain multiple target templates and subsequently search for any one of those targets. If the number of...

The visual familiarity effect on attentional working memory maintenance
Attentional refreshing has been described as an attention-based, domain-general maintenance mechanism in working memory. It is thought to operate via...
-
Emotion-Induced Blindness Is Impervious to Working Memory Load
Emotionally-salient stimuli receive attentional priority. Here, we tested the extent to which top-down control can modulate this prioritization...
-
Visual processing of food stimuli: The impact of working memory load and color
Our environment is surrounded by appetizing food stimuli that contribute to an increase in health problems such as obesity and overweight....
-
Scaling models of visual working memory to natural images
Over the last few decades, psychologists have developed precise quantitative models of human recall performance in visual working memory (VWM) tasks....

Posttraumatic stress, visual working memory, and visual imagery in military personnel
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is characterized by disruptions to cognitive functioning. Two studies were conducted to examine the relevance of...
-
Proactive interference of visual working memory chunks implicates long-term memory
Visual working memory (VWM) is a limited cognitive resource that can be functionally expanded through chunking (Miller,
1956 ). For example,...

TDCS over PPC or DLPFC does not improve visual working memory capacity
Non-invasive brain stimulation has been highlighted as a possible intervention to induce cognitive benefits, including on visual working memory...
-
Map** visual working memory models to a theoretical framework
The body of research on visual working memory (VWM)—the system often described as a limited memory store of visual information in service of ongoing...
-
The independent storage mechanisms of visual and vibrotactile working memory
Whether information in working memory (WM) is stored in a domain-independent or domain-specific system is still the subject of intense debate. This...
-
Priming effect of individual similarity and ensemble perception in visual search and working memory
Perceptual priming is a well-known phenomenon showing that the repetition of an object’s feature can facilitate subsequent detection of that item....
-
Working memory limitations constrain visual episodic long-term memory at both specific and gist levels of representation
Limitations in one’s capacity to encode information in working memory (WM) constrain later access to that information in long-term memory (LTM). The...
-
Control of bottom-up attention in scene cognition contributes to visual working memory performance
Several studies have investigated the relationship between working memory and attention. However, most of the relevant studies so far investigated...
-
Working memory load impairs transfer learning in human adults
Transfer of learning refers to successful application of previously acquired knowledge or skills to novel settings. Although working memory (WM) is...
-
Investigating the effects of perceptual complexity versus conceptual meaning on the object benefit in visual working memory
Previous research has demonstrated greater visual working memory (VWM) performance for real-world objects compared with simple features. Greater...
-
An updating-based working memory load alters the dynamics of eye movements but not their spatial extent during free viewing of natural scenes
The relationship between spatial deployments of attention and working memory load is an important topic of study, with clear implications for...
-
Sequential encoding paradigm reliably captures the individual differences from a simultaneous visual working memory task
Converging behavioral and neural evidence have suggested that visual stimuli could be attached to existing visual working memory sequentially in...
