Individual differences in working memory capacity predict visual attention allocation.
To the extent that individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) reflect differences in attention (Baddeley, 1993; Engle, Kane, & Tuholski, 1999), differences in WMC should predict performance on visual attention tasks. Individuals who scored in the upper and lower quartiles on the OSPAN working memory test performed a modification of Egly and Homa's (1984) selective attention task. I...
متن کاملVisual motion perception predicts driving hazard perception ability.
PURPOSE To examine the basis of previous findings of an association between indices of driving safety and visual motion sensitivity and to examine whether this association could be explained by low-level changes in visual function. METHODS A total of 36 visually normal participants (aged 19-80 years) completed a battery of standard vision tests including visual acuity, contrast sensitivity an...
متن کاملVisual working memory contaminates perception.
Indirect evidence suggests that the contents of visual working memory may be maintained within sensory areas early in the visual hierarchy. We tested this possibility using a well-studied motion repulsion phenomenon in which perception of one direction of motion is distorted when another direction of motion is viewed simultaneously. We found that observers misperceived the actual direction of m...
متن کاملWorking Memory Capacity as Executive Attention
Performance on measures of working memory (WM) capacity predicts performance on a wide range of real-world cognitive tasks. I review the idea that WM capacity (a) is separable from short-term memory, (b) is an important component of general fluid intelligence, and (c) represents a domainfree limitation in ability to control attention. Studies show that individual differences in WM capacity are ...
متن کاملVisual and auditory working memory capacity.
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...
