Direct linkAllen, Elizabeth C.; Beilock, Sian L.; Shevell, Steven K. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
We explored the relation between individual differences in working memory (WM) and color constancy, the phenomenon of color perception that allows us to perceive the color of an object as relatively stable under changes in illumination. Successive color constancy (measured by first viewing a colored surface under a particular illumination and…

Forster, Sophie; Lavie, Nilli – Cognition, 2009
Perceptual load is a key determinant of distraction by task-irrelevant stimuli (e.g., Lavie, N. (2005). "Distracted and confused?: Selective attention under load." "Trends in Cognitive Sciences," 9, 75-82). Here we establish the role of perceptual load in determining an internal form of distraction by task-unrelated thoughts (TUTs or…

Sandrini, Marco; Rossini, Paolo Maria; Miniussi, Carlo – Neuropsychologia, 2008
The functional organization of working memory (WM) in the human prefrontal cortex remains unclear. The present study used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to clarify the role of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) both in the types of information (verbal vs. spatial), and the types of processes (maintenance vs.…

Macdonald, James S. P.; Lavie, Nilli – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2008
Although the perceptual load theory of attention has stimulated a great deal of research, evidence for the role of perceptual load in determining perception has typically relied on indirect measures that infer perception from distractor effects on reaction times or neural activity (see N. Lavie, 2005, for a review). Here we varied the level of…
