Addressing the theory crisis in psychology
K Oberauer, S Lewandowsky - Psychonomic bulletin & review, 2019 - Springer
A worrying number of psychological findings are not replicable. Diagnoses of the causes of
this “replication crisis,” and recommendations to address it, have nearly exclusively focused …

Noisy and hierarchical visual memory across timescales
Both in everyday life and in memory research, people tend to think that items are 'held'in
mind, in the same way that a real-world object can be held in one's hand. Inspired by this …

Psychophysical scaling reveals a unified theory of visual memory strength
Almost all models of visual memory implicitly assume that errors in mnemonic
representations are linearly related to distance in stimulus space. Here we show that neither …

An interference model for visual and verbal working memory.
K Oberauer, HY Lin - Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning …, 2023 - psycnet.apa.org
Research on working memory (WM) has followed two largely independent traditions: One
concerned with memory for sequentially presented lists of discrete items, and the other with …

You cannot “count” how many items people remember in visual working memory: The importance of signal detection–based measures for understanding change …
Change detection tasks are commonly used to measure and understand the nature of visual
working memory capacity. Across three experiments, we examine whether the nature of the …

Two discoveries, one principle: Using a two-stage Bayesian model to explain a dissociated working memory distraction effect.
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 …

Memory fidelity reveals qualitative changes in interactions between items in visual working memory
Z Lively, MM Robinson… - Psychological Science, 2021 - journals.sagepub.com
Memory for objects in a display sometimes reveals attraction—the objects are remembered
as more similar to one another than they actually were—and sometimes reveals repulsion …

Retro-cues (ie, cues presented between the offset of a memory array and the onset of a
probe) have consistently been found to enhance performance in working memory tasks …
