How Do Scientific Views Change? Notes From an Extended Adversarial Collaboration
There are few examples of an extended adversarial collaboration, in which investigators committed to different theoretical views collaborate to test opposing predictions. Whereas previous adversarial collaborations have produced single research articles, here, we share our experience in programmatic, extended adversarial collaboration involving three laboratories in different countries with different theoretical views regarding working memory, th…
Working Memory
Scientific advance and theory integration in working memory
Oberauer et al. (2018) report the results of an ambitious project to identify key or "benchmark" empirical findings that have been associated with the concept of working memory. This commentary questions the utility of setting different levels of priority for previous findings for the purposes of advancing theoretical understanding. This gives undue weight to well-established findings that are studied by large numbers of researchers, at the expen…

Visuospatial working memory and the processing of spatial descriptions
The dual-task paradigm was used to determine whether the spatial, visual and verbal components of working memory are engaged in the processing of spatial descriptions. Participants listened to route or survey descriptions of urban-like spatial environments and then drew corresponding maps. The position of each new landmark was described either in terms of the direction to move toward this landmark (route descriptions) or its relative location wit…
Working Memory
FIVE CENTRAL FEATURES OF THE MODEL (1) According to our view, working memory comprises multiple specialized components of cognition that allow humans to comprehend and mentally represent their immediate environment, to retain information about their immediate past experience, to support the acquisition of new knowledge, to solve problems, and to formulate, relate, and act on current goals. (2) These specialized components include both a superviso…
Visuospatial working memory, movement control and executive demands
Developments in the concept of a specialist visuospatial resource in working memory owe much to a pair of tasks originally developed by Brooks (1967), involving respectively the generation and retention of a mental image of a matrix pattern and the retention of a verbal sequence. Previous literature has demonstrated that the matrix task calls on cognitive resources which are involved in both the processing of visual input and the generation of mo…
How Young House Burglars Choose Targets
This article reports the results of an empirical study designed to determine what features of the immediate environment are important to juvenile house burglars in their selection of targets. The study involved two main subject groups: (i) convicted juvenile burglars; and (ii) adult householders. Subjects were presented with photographs of houses and asked whether or not they would choose them as a burglary target on the basis of the information …
