Though it is clear that it is impossible to store an unlimited amount of information in visual
working memory (VWM), the limiting mechanisms remain elusive. While several models of …

Visual working memory is a brief, capacity-limited store of visual information that is involved
in a large number of cognitive functions. To guide one’s behavior effectively, one must …

Working memory (WM) is impaired following sleep loss and may be improved after a nap.
The goal of the current study was to better understand sleep-related WM enhancement by: (1) …

Working memory (WM) performance can be improved by an informative cue presented during
storage. This effect, termed a retrocue benefit, can be used to study limits on how human …

Visual working memory (VWM) resources have been shown to be flexibly distributed according
to item priority. This flexible allocation of resources may depend on attentional control, an …

Studies suggest that visual short-term memory (VSTM) is a continuous resource that can be
flexibly allocated using probabilistic cues that indicate test likelihood (ie, goal-directed …

Attention regulates visual working memory (VWM) performance by determining how its
resources are distributed among encoded information. During encoding, this process is both …

Visual working memory has been demonstrated to be flexibly distributed across sample
items depending on each item’s priority (Emrich, Lockhart, Al-Aidroos, 2017). This ability to …

There is a limit to how much information can be stored in visual working memory (VWM).
Previous models of this limitation have focused on the effects of VWM load, finding that …

Studies suggest that visual short-term memory (VSTM) is a continuous resource that can be
flexibly allocated using probabilistic cues that indicate test likelihood (ie, attentional priority …
