Visual working memory capacity is of great interest because it is strongly correlated with
overall cognitive ability, can be understood at the level of neural circuits, and is easily …

The contralateral delay activity (CDA) is a negative slow wave sensitive to the number of
objects maintained in visual working memory (VWM). In recent years, a growing number of …

Categorization with basic color terms is an intuitive and universal aspect of color perception.
Yet research on visual working memory capacity has largely assumed that only continuous …

Instrumental learning involves corticostriatal circuitry and the dopaminergic system. This
system is typically modeled in the reinforcement learning (RL) framework by incrementally …

The brain has finite processing resources so that, as tasks become harder, performance
degrades. Where do the limits on these resources come from? We focus on a variety of …

Traditionally, load sensitivity of sustained, elevated activity has been taken as an index of
storage for a limited number of items in visual short-term memory (VSTM). Recently, studies …

The theoretical and practical understanding of cognitive development depends on working
memory, the limited information temporarily accessible for such daily activities as language …

Working memory is a mental storage system that keeps task-relevant information accessible
for a brief span of time, and it is strikingly limited. Its limits differ substantially across people …

Visual long-term memory can store thousands of objects with surprising visual detail, but just
how detailed are these representations, and how can one quantify this fidelity? Using the …

The ability to hold visual information in mind over a brief delay is critical for acquiring
information and navigating a complex visual world. Despite the ubiquitous nature of visual …
