What is the bandwidth of perceptual experience?
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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 …
