Between-item similarity frees up working memory resources through compression: A domain-general property.

B Kowialiewski, B Lemaire, S Portrat - Journal of Experimental …, 2022 - psycnet.apa.org
Compression, the ability to recode information in a denser format, is a core property of
working memory (WM). Previous studies have shown that the ability to compress information …

Current directions in visual working memory research: An introduction and emerging insights

HR Liesefeld, HJ Müller - British Journal of Psychology, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Visual working memory (VWM) is a core construct in the cognitive (neuro‐) sciences,
assumed to serve as a hub for information exchange and thus supporting a multitude of …

Object-based grouping benefits without integrated feature representations in visual working memory

S Chen, A Kocsis, HR Liesefeld, HJ Müller… - Attention, Perception, & …, 2021 - Springer
Visual working memory (VWM) is typically considered to represent complete objects—that is,
separate parts of an object are maintained as bound objects. Yet it remains unclear whether …

Evidence for the beneficial effect of perceptual grouping on visual working memory: An empirical study on illusory contour and a meta-analytic study

J Li, J Qian, F Liang - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
The capacity of visual working memory (VWM) is found to be extremely limited. Past
research shows that VWM can be facilitated by Gestalt principles of grouping, however, it …

Retrospective cues based on object features improve visual working memory performance in older adults

AL Gilchrist, A Duarte, P Verhaeghen - Aging, Neuropsychology …, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Research with younger adults has shown that retrospective cues can be used to orient top-
down attention toward relevant items in working memory. We examined whether older adults …

Can compression take place in working memory without a central contribution of long-term memory?

F Mathy, O Friedman, N Gauvrit - Memory & Cognition, 2023 - Springer
Abstract Information is easier to remember when it is recognized as structured. One
explanation for this benefit is that people represent structured information in a compressed …

Perceptual grouping boosts visual working memory capacity and reduces effort during retention

CC Morey - British Journal of Psychology, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Consistent, robust boosts to visual working memory capacity are observed when colour–
location arrays contain duplicate colours. The prevailing explanation suggests that …

Perceptual grouping reveals distinct roles for sustained slow wave activity and alpha oscillations in working memory

GK Diaz, EK Vogel, E Awh - Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 2021 - direct.mit.edu
Multiple neural signals have been found to track the number of items stored in working
memory (WM). These signals include oscillatory activity in the alpha band and slow-wave …
