Real-time triggering reveals concurrent lapses of attention and working memory

Abstract: Attention and working memory are clearly intertwined, as shown by co-variations in individual ability and the recruitment of similar neural substrates. Both processes fluctuate over time 1-5 , and these fluctuations may be a key determinant of individual variations in ability 6,7. If these fluctuations are due to the waxing and waning of a common cognitive resource, attention and working memory should co-vary on a moment-to-moment basis. To test this, we developed a hybrid task that interleaved a sustained att… Show more

“…Sustained attention and long-term memory. This study also motivates further study of sustained attention, a growing area within recent attention research (deBettencourt et al, 2015(deBettencourt et al, , 2018(deBettencourt et al, , 2019Esterman et al, 2013Esterman et al, , 2014Rosenberg et al, 2016). However, there remain many open questions about how sustained attention relates to long-term memory.…”

“…For instance, contrast sensitivity nearly halves when stimuli move from 5º to 10º along the HM (Virsu & Rovamo, 1979), or when moving stimuli from the HM to the UVM at isoeccentric locations (Abrams et al, 2012). Thus, to eliminate differences in sensory factors for the assessment of performance in visual tasks (e.g., visual search), it does not suffice to place stimuli at the same eccentricity (e.g., Cameron et al, 2002;Carrasco & McElree, 2001;deBettencourt et al, 2019;Eckstein, 1998;Foster et al, 2017;Moher et al, 2011;Palmer, 1994).…”
