摘要: We explored the relation between individual differences in working memory (WM) and color constancy, phenomenon of perception that allows us to perceive an object as relatively stable under changes illumination. Successive constancy (measured by first viewing a colored surface particular illumination later recalling it new illumination) was better for higher WM individuals than lower individuals. Moreover, magnitude this difference depended on how much contextual information available scene, which typically improves constancy. By contrast, simple memory, measured same illumination, showed no significant WM. This study reveals low-level perceptual process not previously thought operate within confines attentional control, provides account known about decades.
