This research explores how visual and motor information in working memory is reselected following external interference.
Developed a visual-motor working-memory task with distinct visual and motor attributes.
Participants were interrupted by a perceptual discrimination task after a retro-cue to select memory items.
Used electroencephalography to analyze brain activity related to selection and reselection of memory contents.
Internal visual and motor contents were reselected immediately after the interruption.
Reselecting occurred concurrently rather than only when needed for response-related behavior.

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Investigates how internal focus is restored after distractions by reselection of memory contents, suggesting swift recovery of focus.

Gresch et al. (2025) studied this question.
