Research Round: Exploring the Dynamics of Visual Working Memory (Virtual Event)

Online via Zoom

Visual working memory (VWM) is a temporary storage system that actively maintains and manipulates visual information. However, its active nature makes it susceptible to distortions, especially when novel perceptual inputs are introduced during maintenance. One such distortion is similarity-induced memory bias (SIMB), where memory reports are systematically biased toward novel visual inputs when individuals perceive […]
