Curby, Kim M.; Glazek, Kuba; Gauthier, Isabel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Visual short-term memory (VSTM) is limited, especially for complex objects. Its capacity, however, is greater for faces than for other objects; this advantage may stem from the holistic nature of face processing. If the holistic processing explains this advantage, object expertise--which also relies on holistic processing--should endow experts…

Daumas, Stephanie; Halley, Helene; Frances, Bernard; Lassalle, Jean-Michel – Learning & Memory, 2005
Studies on human and animals shed light on the unique hippocampus contributions to relational memory. However, the particular role of each hippocampal subregion in memory processing is still not clear. Hippocampal computational models and theories have emphasized a unique function in memory for each hippocampal subregion, with the CA3 area acting…

Oberauer, Klaus – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2005
Two experiments investigated whether young and old adults can temporarily remove information from a capacity-limited central component of working memory (WM) into another component, the activated part of long-term memory (LTM). Experiment 1 used a modified Sternberg recognition task (S. Sternberg, 1969); Experiment 2 used an arithmetic…
