Attentional Selection and Reduced Interference Improve Visual Short-Term Memory in Mild Cognitive Impairment

The Attentional Selection in Visual Search within Short-Term Memory Representations

During the perception of a visual scene, attention can be directed to parts of the space (Posner and Cohen, 1984), distinct features (Treisman and Gelade, 1980) and, as recently shown, also to entire objects (Desimone and Duncan, 1995; Valdes-Sosa et al., 1998; O’Craven et al., 1999; Schoenfeld et al., 2003). Depending on the goals of the observer, those types of selection are flexibly employed...

The role of visual short-term memory in object-based attentional selection

The present study investigated the relationship between object-based attention and visual short-term memory (VSTM). Three claims were investigated: (a) spatial attention and spatial STM share similar processing resources; (b) object-based attention and object STM share similar processing resources; and (c) both sets of processing resources are dissociable. Although the first claim is well estab...

Auditory Short-Term Memory Behaves Like Visual Short-Term Memory

Are the information processing steps that support short-term sensory memory common to all the senses? Systematic, psychophysical comparison requires identical experimental paradigms and comparable stimuli, which can be challenging to obtain across modalities. Participants performed a recognition memory task with auditory and visual stimuli that were comparable in complexity and in their neural ...
