Distraction in visual working memory: Resistance is not futile

ES Lorenc, R Mallett, JA Lewis-Peacock - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2021 - cell.com
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 load and distraction: dissociable effects of visual maintenance and cognitive control

N Konstantinou, E Beal, JR King, N Lavie - Attention, Perception, & …, 2014 - Springer
We establish a new dissociation between the roles of working memory (WM) cognitive
control and visual maintenance in selective attention as measured by the efficiency of …

Flexible coding of visual working memory representations during distraction

ES Lorenc, KK Sreenivasan, DE Nee… - Journal of …, 2018 - Soc Neuroscience
Visual working memory (VWM) recruits a broad network of brain regions, including
prefrontal, parietal, and visual cortices. Recent evidence supports a “sensory recruitment” …

Prospection of potential actions during visual working memory starts early, is flexible, and predicts behavior

R Nasrawi, SEP Boettcher, F van Ede - Journal of Neuroscience, 2023 - Soc Neuroscience
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Attention for action in visual working memory

CNL Olivers, PR Roelfsema - Cortex, 2020 - Elsevier
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 …

Different states in visual working memory: When it guides attention and when it does not

CNL Olivers, J Peters, R Houtkamp… - Trends in cognitive …, 2011 - cell.com
Recent studies have revealed a strong relationship between visual working memory and
selective attention, such that attention is biased by what is currently on our mind. However …

Memory for action: A functional view of selection in visual working memory

A Heuer, S Ohl, M Rolfs - Visual Cognition, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Shielding working-memory representations from temporally predictable external interference

D Gresch, SEP Boettcher, F Van Ede, AC Nobre - Cognition, 2021 - Elsevier
Protecting working-memory content from distracting external sensory inputs and intervening
tasks is an ubiquitous demand in daily life. Here, we ask whether and how temporal …

Visual working memory directly alters perception

information, underlies a variety of critical high-level behaviours from directing attention,,–to …

Revisit once more the sensory storage account of visual working memory

Y Xu - Visual Cognition, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
Recent work has highlighted the role of early visual areas in visual working memory (VWM)
storage and put forward a sensory storage account of VWM. Using a distractor interference …
