Object-based attention and object working memory: overlapping processes revealed by selective interference effects in humans.

摘要: Human observers can discriminate two attributes from the same object more efficiently than different objects even if retinal locations of are in single and dual cases. The advantage challenges spatial spotlight view attention suggests that attentional selection be based. We report is reliably reduced when an working memory task performed concurrently, whereas concurrent verbal tasks have no effect. This selective interference effect provides support for existence object-based processes also contribute to short-term retention memory. These results consistent with hypothesis both subsystems organized along domain-specific lines, suggest importance rehearsal operations. contributions inferior temporal parietal mechanisms been implicated attending remembering considered.
