Connectionist and dynamical systems approaches explain human thought, language and
behavior in terms of the emergent consequences of a large number of simple noncognitive …

In a companion piece (Fisher, Keene, Huskey, & Weber, 2018), we reviewed the foundations
and current state of the Limited Capacity Model of Motivated Mediated Message Processing …

Binding refers to the operation that groups different features together into objects. We
propose a neural architecture for feature binding in visual working memory that employs …

Working memory is a central cognitive system that plays a key role in development, with
working memory capacity and speed of processing increasing as children move from infancy …

Two broad theories of visual working memory (VWM) storage have emerged from current
research, a discrete slot-based theory and a continuous resource theory. However, neither …

Working memory is a vital cognitive skill that underlies a broad range of behaviors. Higher
cognitive functions are reliably predicted by working memory measures from two domains …

Recent imaging studies have challenged the prevailing view that working memory is
mediated by sustained neural activity. Using machine learning methods to reconstruct …

Over the last several years, the study of working memory (WM) for simple visual features (eg,
colors, orientations) has been dominated by perspectives that assume items in WM are …

A central goal in developmental science is to explain the emergence of new behavioral
forms. Researchers consider potential sources of behavioral change depending partly on …

How are humans capable of maintaining detailed representations of visual items in
memory? When required to make fine discriminations, we sometimes implicitly differentiate …
