Turning attention inside out: How working memory serves behavior

F Van Ede, AC Nobre - Annual review of psychology, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Flexible behavior requires guidance not only by sensations that are available immediately
but also by relevant mental contents carried forward through working memory. Therefore …

Representation and computation in visual working memory

PM Bays, S Schneegans, WJ Ma, TF Brady - Nature Human Behaviour, 2024 - nature.com
The ability to sustain internal representations of the sensory environment beyond immediate
perception is a fundamental requirement of cognitive processing. In recent years, debates …

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 …

Visual working memory and action: Functional links and bi-directional influences

F van Ede - Visual Cognition, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
Working memory bridges perception to action over extended delays, enabling flexible goal-
directed behaviour. To date, studies of visual working memory–concerned with detailed …

Neural reinstatement tracks spread of attention between object features in working memory

FAB Printzlau, NE Myers, SG Manohar… - Journal of cognitive …, 2022 - direct.mit.edu
Attention can be allocated in working memory (WM) to select and privilege relevant content.
It is unclear whether attention selects individual features or whole objects in WM. Here, we …

level code for guiding future actions? Electrophysiological correlates of attentional selection …

Individual differences in working memory capacity are unrelated to the magnitudes of retrocue benefits

C Ye, Q Xu, X Liu, P Astikainen, Y Zhu, Z Hu, Q Liu - Scientific Reports, 2021 - nature.com
Previous studies have associated visual working memory (VWM) capacity with the use of
internal attention. Retrocues, which direct internal attention to a particular object or feature …
