Over half a century of research focused on understanding how working memory is capacity
constrained has overshadowed the fact that it is also remarkably resistant to interference …

Working memory, the ability to keep recently accessed information available for immediate
manipulation, has been proposed to rely on two mechanisms that appear difficult to …

From the conception of Baddeley's visuospatial sketchpad, visual working memory and
visual attention have been closely linked concepts. An attractive model has advocated unity …

Selective attention plays a prominent role in prioritizing information in working memory
(WM), improving performance for attended representations. However, it remains unclear …

In visual working memory (VWM) tasks, participants' performances can be improved through
the use of dimension-based retro-cues, which direct internal attention to prioritize a …

For decades, it has been assumed that when humans retrieve information from long-term
memory (LTM), information need first to be brought back into working memory (WM) …

Daily life is filled with sequences of multiple tasks, each with their own relevant perceptual
input. Working memory needs to dissociate representations that drive attention towards …

Interruptions lead to a deterioration of primary task performance. Applied research usually
describes a delay in primary task resumption as an essential component of this performance …

Visual information around us is rarely static. To perform a task in such a dynamic
environment, we often have to compare current visual input with our working memory (WM) …

Visual attention and visual working memory (VWM) are interacting systems. Most research
has been directed toward how a retained VWM load can influence visual search behavior …
