Simultaneous control of attention by multiple working memory representations

VM Beck, A Hollingworth, SJ Luck - Psychological science, 2012 - journals.sagepub.com
Working memory representations play a key role in controlling attention by making it possible
to shift attention to task-relevant objects. Visual working memory has a capacity of three to …

Memory-based attention capture when multiple items are maintained in visual working memory.

A Hollingworth, VM Beck - Journal of experimental psychology …, 2016 - psycnet.apa.org
Efficient visual search requires that attention is guided strategically to relevant objects, and
most theories of visual search implement this function by means of a target template …

Evidence for negative feature guidance in visual search is explained by spatial recoding.

[HTML][HTML] Identification of the C3a receptor (C3AR1) as the target of the VGF-derived peptide TLQP-21 in rodent cells

S Hannedouche, V Beck, J Leighton-Davies… - Journal of Biological …, 2013 - ASBMB
TLQP-21, a peptide derived from VGF (non-acronymic) by proteolytic processing, has been
shown to modulate energy metabolism, differentiation, and cellular response to stress. …

Failure of schizophrenia patients to overcome salient distractors during working memory encoding

…, BM Robinson, ST Kaiser, AN Harvey, VM Beck… - Biological …, 2010 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Prior demonstrations of impaired attentional control in schizophrenia
focused on conditions in which top-down control is needed to overcome prepotent response …

Whatever you do, don't look at the...: Evaluating guidance by an exclusionary attentional template.

VM Beck, SJ Luck, A Hollingworth - Journal of Experimental …, 2018 - psycnet.apa.org
People can use a target template consisting of one or more features to guide attention and
gaze to matching objects in a search array. But can we also use feature information to guide …

A natural ligand for the orphan receptor GPR15 modulates lymphocyte recruitment to epithelia

…, J Li, B Grosshans, M Schaefer, L Raad, V Beck… - Science …, 2017 - science.org
GPR15 is an orphan G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) that is found in lymphocytes. It
functions as a co-receptor of simian immunodeficiency virus and HIV-2 and plays a role in the …

B Bahle, VM Beck, A Hollingworth - Journal of Experimental …, 2018 - psycnet.apa.org
In five experiments, we examined whether a task-irrelevant item in visual working memory (VWM)
interacts with perceptual selection when VWM must also be used to maintain a …
