Perceptual encoding benefit of visual memorability on visual memory formation
Human observers often exhibit remarkable consistency in remembering specific visual details, such as certain face images. This phenomenon is commonly attributed to visual memorability, a collection of stimulus attributes that enhance the long-term retention of visual information. However, the exact contributions of visual memorability to visual memory formation remain elusive as these effects could emerge anywhere from early perceptual encoding t…
Pupillary evidence reveals the influence of conceptual association on brightness perception
The medial temporal lobe supports the quality of visual short-term memory representation
Induced negative arousal modulates the speed of visual working memory consolidation
This study examines how induced negative arousal influences the consolidation of fragile sensory inputs into durable working memory (WM) representations. Participants performed a visual WM change detection task with different amounts of encoding time manipulated by random pattern masks inserted at different levels of memory-and-mask Stimulus Onset Asynchrony (SOA). Prior to the WM task, negative or neutral emotion was induced using audio clips fr…
Memorability of words in arbitrary verbal associations modulates memory retrieval in the anterior temporal lobe
Negative emotion boosts quality of visual working memory representation
Negative emotion impacts a variety of cognitive processes, including working memory (WM). The present study investigated whether negative emotion modulated WM capacity (quantity) or resolution (quality), 2 independent limits on WM storage. In Experiment 1, observers tried to remember several colors over 1-s delay and then recalled the color of a randomly picked memory item by clicking a best-matching color on a continuous color wheel. On each tri…
Contributions of Cognitive Factors in Conceptual Metaphors
The present study applied signal detection measures to test the hypothesis that activating abstract concepts with strong spatial metaphors (e.g., God is related to up and right, Devil is related to down and left) would orient spatial attention to compatible locations. In Experiment 1, participants performed a perceptual-discrimination task after judging the meaning of a word that varied in its religious meaning (God-related, Devil-related, or rel…
