Insensitivity of visual short-term memory to irrelevant visual information.
Several authors have hypothesized that visuo-spatial working memory is functionally analogous to verbal working memory. Irrelevant background speech impairs verbal short-term memory. We investigated whether irrelevant visual information has an analogous effect on visual short-term memory, using a dynamic visual noise (DVN) technique known to disrupt visual imagery (Quinn & McConnell, 1996b). Ex...
متن کاملAuditory 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 ...
متن کاملRelational information in visual short-term memory: the structural gist.
Over the past 20 years, storage of visual items in visual short-term memory has been extensively studied by many research groups. In addition to questions concerning the format of object storage is a more global question that focuses on the organization of information in visual short-term memory. In a series of experiments we investigated how relations across visual items determined the accessi...
متن کاملNeural mechanisms of information storage in visual short-term memory.
The capacity to briefly memorize fleeting sensory information supports visual search and behavioral interactions with relevant stimuli in the environment. Traditionally, studies investigating the neural basis of visual short term memory (STM) have focused on the role of prefrontal cortex (PFC) in exerting executive control over what information is stored and how it is adaptively used to guide b...
متن کاملSerial consolidation of orientation information into visual short-term memory.
Previous research suggests that there is a limit to the rate at which items can be consolidated in visual short-term memory (VSTM). This limit could be due to either a serial or a limited-capacity parallel process. Historically, it has proven difficult to distinguish between these two types of processes. In the present experiment, we took a novel approach that allowed us to do so. Participants ...
