Overview

Experiments demonstrate visual working memory prioritization modulates serial dependence, suggesting complex interactions in perception.

Key Points

  • This research investigates how prioritization in visual working memory affects serial dependence in visual processing.
  • Three experiments were conducted to test the interaction between visual working memory and serial dependence.
  • Experiment 1 involved tasks requiring active memory maintenance to assess SD amplification.
  • Experiments 2 and 3 utilized pre- and post-cueing in a dual-stimuli setup to evaluate SD differences under varying attentional conditions.
  • Active memory maintenance amplified serial dependence, with stronger biases from retained stimuli.
  • No significant differences in SD were found between congruent and incongruent conditions in Experiments 2 and 3, implying attention alone does not affect SD magnitude.
