Visual working memory capacity and the medial temporal lobe

A Jeneson, JT Wixted, RO Hopkins… - Journal of …, 2012 - Soc Neuroscience
Patients with medial temporal lobe (MTL) damage are sometimes impaired at remembering
visual information across delays as short as a few seconds. Such impairments could reflect …

Topographic contribution of early visual cortex to short-term memory consolidation: a transcranial magnetic stimulation study

V van de Ven, C Jacobs, AT Sack - Journal of Neuroscience, 2012 - Soc Neuroscience
The neural correlates for retention of visual information in visual short-term memory are
considered separate from those of sensory encoding. However, recent findings suggest that …

Phonological and sensory short-term memory are correlates and both affected in developmental dyslexia

M Laasonen, V Virsu, S Oinonen, M Sandbacka… - Reading and writing, 2012 - Springer
We investigated whether poor short-term memory (STM) in developmental dyslexia affects
the processing of sensory stimulus sequences in addition to phonological material. STM for …

The sensory components of high-capacity iconic memory and visual working memory

C Bradley, J Pearson - Frontiers in psychology, 2012 - frontiersin.org
Early visual memory can be split into two primary components: a high-capacity, short-lived
iconic memory followed by a limited-capacity visual working memory that can last many …

The contribution of vision, proprioception, and efference copy in storing a neural representation for guiding trail leg trajectory over an obstacle

K Lajoie, LW Bloomfield, FJ Nelson… - Journal of …, 2012 - journals.physiology.org
Stepping over obstacles requires vision to guide the leading leg, but direct visual information
is not available to guide the trailing leg. The neural mechanisms for establishing a stored …

Distinct causal mechanisms of attentional guidance by working memory and repetition priming in early visual cortex

D Soto, D Llewelyn, J Silvanto - Journal of Neuroscience, 2012 - Soc Neuroscience
Human attention may be guided by representations held in working memory (WM) and also
by priming from implicit memory. Neurophysiological data suggest that WM and priming may …

The retention and disruption of color information in human short-term visual memory

VA Nemes, NRA Parry, D Whitaker… - Journal of …, 2012 - jov.arvojournals.org
Previous studies have demonstrated that the retention of information in short-term visual
perceptual memory can be disrupted by the presentation of masking stimuli during …

Enhanced local processing of dynamic visual information in autism: evidence from speed discrimination

Y Chen, DJ Norton, R McBain, J Gold, JA Frazier… - Neuropsychologia, 2012 - Elsevier
An important issue for understanding visual perception in autism concerns whether
individuals with this neurodevelopmental disorder possess an advantage in processing …

Task-relevant and accessory items in working memory have opposite effects on activity in extrastriate cortex

JC Peters, PR Roelfsema, R Goebel - Journal of Neuroscience, 2012 - Soc Neuroscience
During visual search, the working memory (WM) representation of the search target guides
attention to matching items in the visual scene. However, we can hold multiple items in WM …

Visual short-term memory load reduces retinotopic cortex response to contrast

N Konstantinou, B Bahrami, G Rees… - Journal of Cognitive …, 2012 - direct.mit.edu
Load Theory of attention suggests that high perceptual load in a task leads to reduced
sensory visual cortex response to task-unrelated stimuli resulting in “load-induced …
