Abstract

ABSTRACT Temporal information is an essential component of human movements. However, it is still unclear how the temporal information is extracted from complex whole-body movements through observation and how it is encoded and retained in working memory. In the current study, we investigated how the sequence length and maintenance delay influence working memory for movement rhythms (i.e., temporal structures of movement sequences) after considering the task-relevance of the corresponding spatial information and the sensitivity difference between spatial and temporal processing in visual perception. We found that the sequence length – in the sense of information load more than temporal duration – may act as the first bottleneck in the processing of movement rhythms, deciding whether temporal information can be encoded as individual units in high precision or it might be encoded as an ensemble “whole” in relatively low precision. In addition, the maintenance delay may act as the second bottleneck, determining to what extent the encoded information can be retained in memory.

给定空间相关性的运动节奏的工作记忆：序列长度和维持延迟的影响

摘要时间信息是人类运动的重要组成部分。然而，目前尚不清楚如何通过观察从复杂的全身运动中提取时间信息，以及如何将其编码并保留在工作记忆中。在当前的研究中，我们在考虑了相应空间信息的任务相关性以及视觉感知中空间和时间处理之间的敏感性差异后，研究了序列长度和维持延迟如何影响运动节奏（即运动序列的时间结构）的工作记忆。我们发现，序列长度——从信息负载而非持续时间的角度来看——可能是运动节奏处理的第一个瓶颈，决定了时间信息是可以高精度编码为单个单元，还是可以相对低精度编码为整体“整体”。此外，维护延迟可以充当第二瓶颈，从而确定编码信息可以在多大程度上保留在存储器中。

期刊介绍： Visual Cognition publishes new empirical research that increases theoretical understanding of human visual cognition. Studies may be concerned with any aspect of visual cognition such as object, face, and scene recognition; visual attention and search; short-term and long-term visual memory; visual word recognition and reading; eye movement control and active vision; and visual imagery. The journal is devoted to research at the interface of visual perception and cognition and does not typically publish papers in areas of perception or psychophysics that are covered by the many publication outlets for those topics.
