This study investigates whether continuous visual working memory representations require more mental effort than categorical ones by measuring pupil dilation during a delayed estimation task.

This study shows that both younger and older adults rely more on categorical representations in visual working memory as memory load increases, with no age difference in the extent of this reliance.

This study investigates how memory load and retention interval affect categorical bias in visual working memory, finding that bias increases with load and is stronger at longer intervals.

The paper investigates neurocognitive mechanisms in spatial reward learning, showing feedback-related ERP differences and predictive brain activity linked to spatial attention.

This study shows caffeine and reward-prospect both improve task performance, with their effects adding together, and caffeine enhancing neural markers of preparatory attention for reward-related information.

The paper investigates whether working-memory content guides attention during real-life search, finding that gaze is strongly directed towards memory-matching stimuli from the start of the search.

The paper tests whether multiple or single items in visual working memory guide attention during visual search using behavioral and computational models.
