There has been a long-lasting debate about whether salient stimuli, such as uniquely
colored objects, have the ability to automatically distract us. To resolve this debate, it has …

Although storage in working memory (WM) can be tracked via measurements of ongoing
neural activity, past work has shown that observers can maintain access to that information …

Protecting working-memory content from distracting external sensory inputs and intervening
tasks is an ubiquitous demand in daily life. Here, we ask whether and how temporal …

Perceptual distraction distorts visual working memory representations. Previous research
has shown that memory responses are systematically biased toward visual distractors that …

Past work has shown that storage in working memory elicits stimulus-specific neural activity
that tracks the stored content. Here, we present evidence for a distinct class of load-sensitive …

Past work reveals a tight relationship between spatial attention and storage in visual working
memory. But is spatially attending an item tantamount to working memory encoding? Here …

How working memory (WM) resists perceptual distraction with its limited capacity is a
fundamental question to understand its mechanism. To address this question, we used a …

Introduction Within the maintenance phase of visual working memory (VWM), previous
researchers presented retro-cues orienting to a probed dimension across all multidimension …

Aim To explore the effects of different types of interference on nurses' working memory, and
the role of attention control. Design A repeated measures design. Methods A single‐factor …

In environments teeming with distractions, the ability to selectively focus on relevant
information is crucial for advanced cognitive processing. Existing research using event …
