Evidence for, and challenges to, sensory recruitment models of visual working memory

Abstract: Visual working memory refers to the ability to temporarily hold information in mind in the service of behavior. Often, it is not sufficient to hold an abstract idea in mind to achieve our goals. Rather, we must maintain vivid sensory details. For example, when buying a spool of thread to repair a much-loved shirt, holding an abstract category in mind is not sufficient to buy the correct color (e.g. ‘blue’)—instead, you need a precise visual memory of the color (e.g., a particular gray-ish shade of blue).

“…49,50 Importantly, it shows close interconnections with regions involved in higher-order cognition like visual selective attention and visual working memory (WM). 2-4, 49, 51 Its interaction with areas involved in visual WM processes is also reflected by the sensory recruitment hypothesis [52][53][54][55] which proposes neural populations in early visual regions to be involved in the maintenance of visual information via representations in the same early visual area that initially encoded the presented visual information. 53,54,56 Such recruitment is commonly initiated by regions involved in higher-order cognition like frontoparietal regions.…”
