Any mature field of research in psychology—such as short-term/working memory—is
characterized by a wealth of empirical findings. It is currently unrealistic to expect a theory to …

We review the evidence for the 3 principal theoretical contenders that vie to explain why and
how working memory (WM) capacity is limited. We examine the possibility that capacity …

Traditional memory research has focused on identifying separate memory systems and
exploring different stages of memory processing. This approach has been valuable for …

The ability to selectively process information (attention) and to retain information in an
accessible state (working memory) are critical aspects of our cognitive capacities. While …

An influential theory suggests that integrated objects, rather than individual features, are the
fundamental units that limit our capacity to temporarily store visual information (SJ Luck & EK …

Does the capacity of visual short-term memory (VSTM) depend on the complexity of the
objects represented in memory? Although some previous findings indicated lower capacity …
