Morey, Richard D.; Morey, Candice C.; Brisson, Benoit; Tremblay, Sebastien – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
It is known that visual working memory capacity is limited, but the nature of this limit remains a subject of controversy. Increasingly, two factors are thought to limit visual memory: an object-based limit associated with so-called "slots" models, and an information-based limit associated with resource models. Recently, Barton, Ester, and Awh…

Guerard, Katherine; Tremblay, Sebastien – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
In serial memory for spatial information, performance is impaired when distractors are interpolated between to-be-remembered (TBR) stimuli (Tremblay, Nicholls, Parmentier, & Jones, 2005). The so-called sandwich effect, combined with the use of eye tracking, served as a tool for examining the role of the oculomotor system in serial memory for…

Flombaum, Jonathan I.; Scholl, Brian J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
Meaningful visual experience requires computations that identify objects as the same persisting individuals over time, motion, occlusion, and featural change. This article explores these computations in the tunnel effect: When an object moves behind an occluder, and then an object later emerges following a consistent trajectory, observers…

Cohen, Andrew L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
Some potential contributions of invariants, heuristics, and exemplars to the perception of dynamic properties in the colliding balls task were explored. On each trial, an observer is asked to determine the heavier of 2 colliding balls. The invariant approach assumes that people can learn to detect complex visual patterns that reliably specify…

Beck, Melissa R.; Peterson, Matthew S.; Vomela, Miroslava – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
Although the role of memory in visual search is debatable, most researchers agree with a limited-capacity model of memory in visual search. The authors demonstrate the role of memory by replicating previous findings showing that visual search is biased away from old items (previously examined items) and toward new items (nonexamined items).…

Droll, Jason A.; Hayhoe, Mary M.; Triesch, Jochen; Sullivan, Brian T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
Attention and working memory limitations set strict limits on visual representations, yet researchers have little appreciation of how these limits constrain the acquisition of information in ongoing visually guided behavior. Subjects performed a brick sorting task in a virtual environment. A change was made to 1 of the features of the brick being…
