Mental Imagery and Visual Working Memory
Visual working memory provides an essential link between past and future events. Despite recent efforts, capacity limits, their genesis and the underlying neural structures of visual working memory remain unclear. Here we show that performance in visual working memory--but not iconic visual memory--can be predicted by the strength of mental imagery as assessed with binocular rivalry in a given ...
متن کاملBody image, visual working memory and visual mental imagery
Body dissatisfaction (BD) is a highly prevalent feature amongst females in society, with the majority of individuals regarding themselves to be overweight compared to their personal ideal, and very few self-describing as underweight. To date, explanations of this dramatic pattern have centred on extrinsic social and media factors, or intrinsic factors connected to individuals' knowledge and bel...
متن کاملModulation of Visual Cortical Excitability by Working Memory: Effect of Luminance Contrast of Mental Imagery
Although much is known about the impact of stimulus properties such as luminance contrast, spatial frequency, and orientation on visually evoked neural activity, much less is known about how they modulate neural activity when they are properties of a mental image held in working memory (WM). Here we addressed this question by investigating how a parametric manipulation of an imagined stimulus a...

activated portion of the information in permanent memory, which extends beyond the focus of attention to include some automatically activated information (see Fig. 1). When researchers use the term 'working memory', some of them seem to be referring only to the focus of attention, whereas others seem to be referring to all of the temporarily activated information. It is also likely that certain...
متن کاملDiscrete capacity limits in visual working memory.
The amount of information we can actively maintain 'in mind' is very limited. This capacity limitation, known as working memory (WM) capacity, has been of great interest because of its wide scope influence on the variety of intellectual abilities. Recently, there has been an ongoing debate about how this capacity should be best characterized. One viewpoint argues that WM capacity is allocated i...
