Proactive interference from items previously stored in visual working memory.
This study investigates the fate of information that was previously stored in visual working memory but that is no longer needed. Previous research has found inconsistent results, with some showing effective release of irrelevant information and others showing proactive interference. Using change detection tasks of colors or shapes, we show that participants tend to falsely classify a changed i...

متن کاملAttention Restores Discrete Items to Visual Short-Term Memory
When a memory is forgotten, is it lost forever? Our study shows that selective attention can restore forgotten items to visual short-term memory (VSTM). In our two experiments, all stimuli presented in a memory array were designed to be equally task relevant during encoding. During the retention interval, however, participants were sometimes given a cue predicting which of the memory items woul...
متن کاملVisual Working Memory Capacity and Proactive Interference
BACKGROUND Visual working memory capacity is extremely limited and appears to be relatively immune to practice effects or the use of explicit strategies. The recent discovery that visual working memory tasks, like verbal working memory tasks, are subject to proactive interference, coupled with the fact that typical visual working memory tasks are particularly conducive to proactive interference...
متن کاملProactive Inhibition in Short-term Memory.
To study PI effects in short-term memory for paired associates, 60 Ss were tested on 6 lists of 6 pairs each. The A-B pairs consisted of common English words paired at random. After each list had been presented once, Ss were tested for retention of 1 of the 6 pairs by presenting A as the cue for recall of B. Serial position of the critical pair was counterbalanced across stage of practice. Whil...
