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

Short-term memory is critically implicated in most human cognitive capacities and has been
the object of study for more than a century, yet many questions remain unsettled and new …

Visual selective attention can be achieved into bottom-up and top-down attention. Different
selective attention tasks involve different attention control ways. The pop-out task requires …

Four decades of studies in visual attention and visual working memory used visual features
such as colors, orientations, and shapes. The layout of their featural space is clearly …

As of yet, visual working memory (WM) training has failed to yield consistent cognitive
benefits to performance in untrained tasks, despite large improvements in trained tasks …

Items held in working memory (WM) capture attention (memory-driven capture). People can
selectively prioritize specific object features in WM. Here, we examined whether feature …

Working memory (WM) has a limited capacity; however, this limitation can be mitigated by
selecting individual items from the set currently held in WM for prioritization. The selection …

Previous cognitive training research with the change-detection paradigm found only sparse
effects that went beyond improvements in the training task but stressed an increase in fidelity …

The ability to accurately retain the binding between the features of different objects is a
critical element of visual working memory. The underlying mechanism can be elucidated by …

Recent studies have examined whether the internal selection mechanism functions similarly
for perception and visual working memory (VWM). However, the process of how we access …
