摘要
我们如何找到我们正在寻找的东西?这个问题是《实验心理学杂志:人类感知和表现》中许多研究的核心问题。我们描述了杂志上的开创性研究如何最终导致了自上而下的注意力引导和视觉工作记忆激活可能被视为一个相同的过程的假设。然而,关键的测试揭示了一个更复杂的画面,提出了关于工作记忆中潜在的功能划分以及这些划分应该如何表征的重要新问题。这在期刊内部引发了更广泛的争论:什么是自上而下的注意力能力,我们如何忽略无关的东西,以及我们如何在感觉表征和助记表征之间切换——这些争论仍有待解决。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA,版权所有)。
How attention and working memory married and divorced, with Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance as the witness.
How do we find stuff that we are looking for? This question has been central to many a study in Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance. We describe how seminal studies in the journal eventually led to the hypothesis that top-down attentional guidance and visual working memory activation might be regarded as one and the same process. However, crucial tests revealed a more complex picture, raising important new questions about potential functional divisions within working memory, and how these should be characterized. This contributed to wider debates within the journal on what is the capacity of top-down attention, how we ignore stuff that is irrelevant, and how we switch between sensory and mnemonic representations-debates that still call for resolution.
