This study investigated whether and how visual representations of individual objects are bound in memory to scene context. Participants viewed a series of naturalistic scenes, and memory for the visual form of a target object in each scene was examined in a 2-alternative forced-choice test, with the distractor object either a different object…

Mou, Weimin; McNamara, Timothy P.; Rump, Bjorn; Xiao, Chengli – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Four experiments investigated the nature of spatial representations used in locomotion. Participants learned the layout of several objects and then pointed to the objects while blindfolded in 3 conditions: before turning (baseline), after turning to a new heading (updating), and after disorientation (disorientation). The internal consistency of…

Olson, Ingrid R.; Jiang, Yuhong; Moore, Katherine Sledge – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
The ability to remember visual stimuli over a short delay period is limited by the small capacity of visual working memory (VWM). Here the authors investigate the role of learning in enhancing VWM. Participants saw 2 spatial arrays separated by a 1-s interval. The 2 arrays were identical except for 1 location. Participants had to detect the…
