Working memory is widely considered to be limited in capacity, holding a fixed, small
number of items, such as Miller's' magical number'seven or Cowan's four. It has recently …

Traditional memory research has focused on identifying separate memory systems and
exploring different stages of memory processing. This approach has been valuable for …

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 …

Categorization with basic color terms is an intuitive and universal aspect of color perception.
Yet research on visual working memory capacity has largely assumed that only continuous …

The brain has finite processing resources so that, as tasks become harder, performance
degrades. Where do the limits on these resources come from? We focus on a variety of …

Errors in short-term memory increase with the quantity of information stored, limiting the
complexity of cognition and behavior. In visual memory, attempts to account for errors in …

Recent neurophysiological and imaging studies have investigated how neural
representations underlying working memory (WM) are dynamically updated for objects …

Working memory is a mental storage system that keeps task-relevant information accessible
for a brief span of time, and it is strikingly limited. Its limits differ substantially across people …

An influential conception of visual working memory is of a small number of discrete memory
“slots”, each storing an integrated representation of a single visual object, including all its …

The world is composed of features and objects and this structure may influence what is
stored in working memory. It is widely believed that the content of memory is object-based …
