Flexible behavior requires guidance not only by sensations that are available immediately
but also by relevant mental contents carried forward through working memory. Therefore …

Adaptive body representation requires the continuous integration of multisensory inputs
within a flexible 'body model'in the brain. The present review evaluates the idea that this …

Working memory serves as the buffer between past sensations and future behavior, making
it vital to understand not only how we encode and retain sensory information in memory but …

From the conception of Baddeley's visuospatial sketchpad, visual working memory and
visual attention have been closely linked concepts. An attractive model has advocated unity …

Working memory (WM) is important for guiding behaviour, but not always for the next
possible action. Here we define a WM item that is currently relevant for guiding behaviour as …

Working memory bridges perception to action over extended delays, enabling flexible goal-
directed behaviour. To date, studies of visual working memory–concerned with detailed …

For flexible goal-directed behavior, prioritizing and selecting a specific action among
multiple candidates are often important. Working memory has long been assumed to play a …

Selective attention can be directed not only to external sensory inputs, but also to internal
sensory representations held within visual working memory (VWM). To date, this …

A key aspect of human cognitive flexibility concerns the ability to convert complex symbolic
instructions into novel behaviors. Previous research proposes that this transformation is …

Implementing novel instructions is a complex and uniquely human cognitive ability, which
requires the rapid and flexible conversion of symbolic content into a format that enables the …
