Kim, Sung-Ho; Kim, Jung-Oh – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Using a change detection paradigm, the present study examined an object-based encoding benefit in visual working memory (VWM) for two boundary features (two orientations in Experiments 1-2 and two shapes in Experiments 3-4) assigned to a single object. Participants remembered more boundary features when they were conjoined into a single object of…

Hollingworth, Andrew; Rasmussen, Ian P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
The relationship between object files and visual working memory (VWM) was investigated in a new paradigm combining features of traditional VWM experiments (color change detection) and object-file experiments (memory for the properties of moving objects). Object-file theory was found to account for a key component of object-position binding in VWM:…

Hove, Michael J.; Spivey, Michael J.; Krumhansl, Carol L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
Prior research indicates that synchronized tapping performance is very poor with flashing visual stimuli compared with auditory stimuli. Three finger-tapping experiments compared flashing visual metronomes with visual metronomes containing a spatial component, either compatible, incompatible, or orthogonal to the tapping action. In Experiment 1,…
