Working memory is widely considered to be limited in capacity, holding a fixed, small
number of items, such as Miller's' magical number'seven or Cowan's four. It has recently …

The brain has finite processing resources so that, as tasks become harder, performance
degrades. Where do the limits on these resources come from? We focus on a variety of …

Errors in short-term memory increase with the quantity of information stored, limiting the
complexity of cognition and behavior. In visual memory, attempts to account for errors in …

This opinion article argues that noise (randomness) in neural activity is the limiting factor in
visual working memory (WM), determining how accurately we can maintain stable internal …

Multiple studies have demonstrated that resolution in working memory (WM) declines as the
number of stored items increases. Discrete-resource models predict that this decline should …

Background: There is a growing interest in large-scale connectivity as one of the crucial
factors in working memory. Correlative evidence has revealed the anatomical and …

When faced with maintaining multiple objects in visual working memory, item information
must be bound to the correct object in order to be correctly recalled. Sometimes, however …

Visual working memory (WM) storage is largely independent between the left and right
visual hemifields/cerebral hemispheres, yet somehow WM feels seamless. We studied how …

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), a form of psychotherapy for
individuals with post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), has long been a controversial topic …

Although considerable research has examined the storage limits of visual short-term
memory (VSTM), little is known about the initial formation (ie, the consolidation) of VSTM …
