Keynote Speaker
Dr. Steven Luck, University of Iowa
Features and Objects in Visual Working Memory
Abstract: A great deal of research over the past decade has focused on the nature of visual working memory representations. In particular, many researchers have examined how features are bound together into object representations in working memory. In this talk, I will bring together my own laboratory's work on this topic with recent research from other laboratories in an attempt to define our current understanding of visual working memory representations. I will also highlight several related issues, such as the development of object representations in working memory, the transformation of perceptual representations into working memory representations, the maintenance of representations in working memory, and the comparison of working memory representations with incoming sensory information.
