Across many studies, researchers have found that representations in working memory (WM)
can guide visual attention toward items that match the features of the WM contents. While …

The contents of working memory (WM) have been repeatedly found to guide the allocation of
visual attention; in a dual-task paradigm that combines WM and visual search, actively …

Recent research suggests that visual selection can be automatically biased to those stimuli
matching the contents of working memory (WM). However, a complete functional account of …

Abstract Information held in visual working memory (VWM) influences the allocation of
attention during visual search, with targets matching the contents of VWM receiving …

Recent research has shown that the contents of working memory (WM) can guide the early
deployment of attention in visual search. Here, we assessed whether this guidance occurred …

Many everyday tasks involve successive visual-search episodes with changing targets.
Converging evidence suggests that these targets are retained in visual working memory …

Information maintained in working memory (WM) has the potential to bias selective attention
and limit executive attention. The current study assessed the influence of information in WM …

What we are currently thinking influences where we attend. The finding that active
maintenance of visual items in working memory (WM) biases attention toward memory …

Priority-based allocation of attentional resources has shown robust effects in working
memory (WM) with both cue-based and reward-based prioritization. However, direct …

We ask whether attentional guidance from working memory (WM) is influenced by the size of
an attentional window. Participants adopted either a focused or a diffuse attentional window …
