Cognition is shaped by the way that past experiences are represented in memory. To
examine the representation of recent visual experiences, we devised a novel procedure that …

Our understanding of short-term recognition memory can be enhanced by careful choice
and control of test materials. Theory-driven manipulation of memory test stimuli, including …

Visual memory can draw upon averaged perceptual representations, a dependence that
could be both adaptive and obligatory. In support of this idea, we review a wide range of …

Three times per second, our eyes make a new fixation that generates a new bottom-up
analysis in the visual system. How much is extracted from each glimpse? For how long and …

Prior knowledge has long been known to shape new episodic memories. However, it is less
clear how prior knowledge can scaffold the learning of a new class of information, and how …

The ability to retain neural representations of stimuli which are no longer present in the
sensory environment is a central aspect of human behaviour, and has been considered one …

Numerous experiments have attempted to show that people use a visuospatial
representation to remember pictures and objects by demonstrating that perceptual variables …

People can store thousands of real-world objects in visual long-term memory with high
precision. But are these objects stored as unitary, bound entities, as often assumed, or as …

Interest is growing in how information is retained in visual short-term memory (VSTM). We
describe an experiment that assesses VSTM within the context of multidimensional signal …

Recognition memory was investigated for individual frames extracted from temporally
continuous, visually rich film segments of 5–15 min. Participants viewed a short clip from a …
