Flexible behavior requires guidance not only by sensations that are available immediately
but also by relevant mental contents carried forward through working memory. Therefore …

Over half a century of research focused on understanding how working memory is capacity
constrained has overshadowed the fact that it is also remarkably resistant to interference …

Working memory serves as the buffer between past sensations and future behavior, making
it vital to understand not only how we encode and retain sensory information in memory but …

From the conception of Baddeley's visuospatial sketchpad, visual working memory and
visual attention have been closely linked concepts. An attractive model has advocated unity …

Pupillary dynamics reflect effects of distinct and important operations of visual working
memory: encoding, maintenance, and prioritization. Here, we review how pupil size predicts …

Researchers in the field of active perception study how sensory processes coalesce with
motor actions to extract information from the world. Such actions intrinsically alter perceptual …

For visual working memory to serve upcoming behavior, it is crucial that we prepare for the
potential use of working-memory contents ahead of time. Recent studies have demonstrated …

Adaptive behavior relies on the selection of relevant sensory information from both the
external environment and internal memory representations. In understanding external …

Perception is shaped by actions, which determine the allocation of selective attention across
the visual field. Here, we review evidence that maintenance in visual working memory is …

Research within visual cognition has made tremendous strides in uncovering the basic
operating characteristics of the visual system by reducing the complexity of natural vision to …
