The role of recollection and familiarity in visual working memory: A mixture of threshold and signal detection processes.
AP Yonelinas - Psychological review, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
Whether working memory reflects a thresholded recollection process whereby only a limited
number of items are maintained in memory, or a signal detection process in which each …

Attention in working memory: attention is needed but it yearns to be free
Recent theoretical development of working memory has emphasized the role of attention in
several active processes supporting maintenance. Although this development is certainly …

The forgotten history of signal detection theory.
JT Wixted - Journal of experimental psychology: learning, memory …, 2020 - psycnet.apa.org
Signal detection theory is one of psychology's most well-known and influential theoretical
frameworks. However, the conceptual hurdles that had to be overcome before the theory …

An embedded-processes approach to working memory
The embedded-processes model (Cowan, 1988, 1995, 1999, 2001, 2005/2016, 2019) is a
simple, graphic, and conceptual model of how information is processed in the human mind …

How do scientific views change? Notes from an extended adversarial collaboration
There are few examples of an extended adversarial collaboration, in which investigators
committed to different theoretical views collaborate to test opposing predictions. Whereas …

The proportion of working memory items recoverable from long-term memory remains fixed despite adult aging.
We explored whether long-term memory (LTM) retrieval is constrained by working memory
(WM) limitations, in 80 younger and 80 older adults. Participants performed a WM task with …

Adult age differences in working memory capacity: Spared central storage but deficits in ability to maximize peripheral storage.
For the first time, we quantify capacities of working memory in young and older adults in a
dual-task situation, addressing whether older adults have diminished central or peripheral …

Change localization: A highly reliable and sensitive measure of capacity in visual working memory
The change detection paradigm has been a widely used approach for measuring capacity in
visual working memory (WM). In this task, subjects see an array of visual items, followed by a …

Feature binding in short-term memory and long-term learning
In everyday experience, we encounter visual feature combinations. Some combinations are
learned to support object recognition, and some are arbitrary and rapidly changing, so are …

Why does visual working memory ability improve with age: More objects, more feature detail, or both? A registered report
We investigated how visual working memory (WM) develops with age across the early
elementary school period (6–7 years), early adolescence (11–13 years), and early …
