Working memory can guide pop-out searchDavid Soto
Behavioural Brain Sciences, School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK
Vision Res 46:1010-8. 2006..Despite this, the prime in WM affected responses latencies and the direction of the first saccade. Top-down search, guided by the contents of WM, can modulate selection even when salient bottom-up cues are present...
Automatic guidance of attention from working memoryDavid Soto
Imperial College London, Faculty of Medicine, Division of Neuroscience and Mental Health, Charing Cross Campus, St Dunstan s Road, London, W6 8RP, UK
Trends Cogn Sci 12:342-8. 2008..We discuss the importance of 'top-down' influences from working memory on the 'early' deployment of attention and on the processes that gate visual information into awareness...
Dissociating the neural mechanisms of memory-based guidance of visual selectionDavid Soto
Behavioural Brain Sciences Centre, School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:17186-91. 2007..Items held in WM influence selection by using neural coding distinct to effects of mere repetition...- Dividing the mind: the necessary role of the frontal lobes in separating memory from searchDavid Soto
Behavioural Brain Sciences Centre, School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK
Neuropsychologia 44:1282-9. 2006..The results suggest that, following the earliest deployment of attention, frontal lobe structures are involved in separating relevant target from irrelevant (object cue) information, when both are held in memory... - Seeing the content of the mind: enhanced awareness through working memory in patients with visual extinctionDavid Soto
Behavioural Brain Sciences Centre, School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, United Kingdom
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:4789-92. 2006..The results suggest that reentrant processes, from working memory, modulate awareness... - Automatic guidance of visual attention from verbal working memoryDavid Soto
Behavioural Brain Sciences Centre, School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 33:730-7. 2007..However, the effects were absent when primes were only attended. The data suggest that there is automatic encoding into WM when items are verbalized and that verbal as well as visual WM can guide visual attention... - Constraints on task-based control of behaviour following frontal lobe damage: a single-case studyAlex Bahrami Balani
Behavioural Brain Sciences Centre, School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, UK
Cogn Neuropsychol 26:635-54. 2009..F.K.'s lesion makes it difficult for him to impose top-down knowledge rapidly, leading to responses automatically being based on attended, but irrelevant, cues under short cue-display intervals... - Separating top-down and bottom-up cueing of attention from response inhibition in utilization behaviorAlex Bahrami Balani
Behavioural Brain Sciences Centre, School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK
Neurocase 18:98-111. 2012..FK's ability to inhibit a response activated by the cueing of attention was impaired. There is dissociation between top-down attention cueing and response inhibition... - Electrophysiological evidence for attentional guidance by the contents of working memorySanjay Kumar
Behavioural Brain Sciences, School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK
Eur J Neurosci 30:307-17. 2009..Merely identifying the prime produced no effect on the N2pc component. The evidence suggests that WM modulates competitive interactions between the items in the visual field to determine the efficiency of target selection... - The role of the pulvinar in resolving competition between memory and visual selection: a functional connectivity studyPia Rotshtein
School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK
Neuropsychologia 49:1544-52. 2011..The data therefore suggest that the thalamus modulates bottom up processing in sensory cortex to minimize interference to WM content... - Working memory and target-related distractor effects on visual searchAlex Bahrami Balani
Behavioural Brain Sciences Centre, School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, England
Mem Cognit 38:1058-76. 2010..The data suggest that task-irrelevant information in WM and task-relevant templates for targets compete separately for selection. The implications for understanding top-down processes in search are discussed... - Early, involuntary top-down guidance of attention from working memoryDavid Soto
, , University of Santiago de Compostela, Santiago de Compostela, Spain
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 31:248-61. 2005..There was also no evidence for priming effects between consecutive trials. The results suggest that there can be early, involuntary top-down directing of attention to a stimulus matching the contents of working memory... - Stressing the mind: the effect of cognitive load and articulatory suppression on attentional guidance from working memoryDavid Soto
Division of Neuroscience and Mental Health, Imperial College London, London, England
Percept Psychophys 70:924-34. 2008..The degree of competition for resources in WM is a key factor in determining the time course and magnitude of the interaction between WM and visual selection... - Spatial attention and object-based attention: a comparison within a single taskDavid Soto
Departamento de Psicología Social y Básica, Facultad de Psicologia, University of Santiago de Compostela, Santiago de Compostela 15706, Spain
Vision Res 44:69-81. 2004..These results suggest that object- and space-based attention interact, with selection by location being primary over object-based selection... - Effects of spatial attention on detection and identification of oriented linesManuel J Blanco
Departamento de Psicología Social y Básica, Facultad de Psicologia, University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain
Acta Psychol (Amst) 109:195-212. 2002..g., tuning function), may not be fixed, but rather vary according to the attention being paid to the spatial region within which the target stimulus is presented...
