We show that attentional cues can override automatic outlier detection in visual ensembles. Even salient "odd ones out" aren't immune to where attention is directed. rdcu.be/eqVsS

@shansmann-roth.bsky.social and I finally finished our paper confirming a unique prediction of the Demixing Model (DM): inter-item biases in #visualworkingmemory depend on the _relative_ noise of targets and non-targets, potentially going in opposing directions. 🧵1/9

Noise in Competing Representations Determines the Direction of Memory Biases
Our memories are reconstructions, prone to errors. Historically treated as a mere nuisance, memory errors have recently gained attention when found to be systematically shifted away from or towards no...

📢New preprint w/ ayaecanb.bsky.social! Noisy visual representations strengthen repulsive serial biases but inducer uncertainty doesn’t. Working memory adapts to reduce error in ways that exceed simple Bayesian explanations.

Target Fidelity, but not Inducer Fidelity, Modulates Repulsive Serial Dependence of Visual Working Memory Representations
Visual representations are open to systematic functional biases. In visual working memory, representations of serially presented stimuli can either attract or repel each other. Such serial dependence ...

Our new paper tests Bayesian and Demixing Model's ideas about the role of noise in serial dependence by manipulating prioritization in VWM via cueing and extra maintenance instruction, and finds mixed support for the models. 1/n bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Visual working memory prioritization modulates serial dependence beyond simple attentional effects - BMC Biology
Background Serial dependence (SD) is a contextual bias in visual processing, where current perception is influenced by past stimuli. This study explores how prioritization in visual working memory (VW...

The priority state of items in visual working memory determines their influence on early visual processing
Items held in visual working memory (VWM) can influence early visual processing by favoring input that matches memory contents. Recent studies suggest that memory items can have different priorities d...
