Executive control of stimulus-driven and goal-directed attention in visual working memory

Abstract: We examined the role of executive control in stimulus-driven and goal-directed attention in visual working memory using probed recall of a series of objects, a task that allows study of the dynamics of storage through analysis of serial position data. Experiment 1 examined whether executive control underlies goal-directed prioritization of certain items within the sequence. Instructing participants to prioritize either the first or final item resulted in improved recall for these items, and an increase in conc… Show more

“…In adults, increases in accuracy for the priority item are accompanied by declines in performance at non-prioritized positions, relative to a baseline condition (Hu et al, 2014(Hu et al, , 2016. In the present study, despite the possible drop in performance at position 2, we did not see a boost in performance for the final item.…”

“…Not only is this recency effect present in children but also, like in adults, it does not relate to executive attention. This finding therefore extends evidence from dual-task methods in adults Hu et al, 2016) to an individual differences approach with children.…”
