What is the bandwidth of perceptual experience?

MA Cohen, DC Dennett, N Kanwisher - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2016 - cell.com
Although our subjective impression is of a richly detailed visual world, numerous empirical
results suggest that the amount of visual information observers can perceive and remember …

Distraction in visual working memory: Resistance is not futile

ES Lorenc, R Mallett, JA Lewis-Peacock - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2021 - cell.com
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 …

Object vision in a structured world

D Kaiser, GL Quek, RM Cichy, MV Peelen - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2019 - cell.com
In natural vision, objects appear at typical locations, both with respect to visual space (eg, an
airplane in the upper part of a scene) and other objects (eg, a lamp above a table). Recent …

The role of meaning in visual working memory: Real-world objects, but not simple features, benefit from deeper processing.

TF Brady, VS Störmer - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2022 - psycnet.apa.org
Visual working memory is a capacity-limited cognitive system used to actively store and
manipulate visual information. Visual working memory capacity is not fixed, but varies by …

[HTML][HTML] Is attentional resource allocation across sensory modalities task-dependent?

B Wahn, P König - Advances in cognitive psychology, 2017 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Human information processing is limited by attentional resources. That is, via attentional
mechanisms, humans select a limited amount of sensory input to process while other …

Visual temporal attention from perception to computation

RN Denison - Nature Reviews Psychology, 2024 - nature.com
Visual attention unfolds across space and time to prioritize a subset of incoming visual
information. Distinct in key ways from spatial attention, temporal attention is a growing …

Greater visual working memory capacity for visually matched stimuli when they are perceived as meaningful

IE Asp, VS Störmer, TF Brady - Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 2021 - direct.mit.edu
Almost all models of visual working memory—the cognitive system that holds visual
information in an active state—assume it has a fixed capacity: Some models propose a limit …

General object recognition is specific: Evidence from novel and familiar objects

JJ Richler, JB Wilmer, I Gauthier - Cognition, 2017 - Elsevier
In tests of object recognition, individual differences typically correlate modestly but
nontrivially across familiar categories (eg cars, faces, shoes, birds, mushrooms). In theory …

The ventral visual pathway represents animal appearance over animacy, unlike human behavior and deep neural networks

S Bracci, JB Ritchie, I Kalfas… - Journal of …, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
Recent studies showed agreement between how the human brain and neural networks
represent objects, suggesting that we might start to understand the underlying computations …

A model of working memory for latent representations

S Hedayati, RE O'Donnell, B Wyble - Nature Human Behaviour, 2022 - nature.com
We propose a mechanistic explanation of how working memories are built and
reconstructed from the latent representations of visual knowledge. The proposed model …
