Mou, Weimin; Zhao, Mintao; McNamara, Timothy P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2007
Four experiments investigated the roles of layout geometry in the selection of intrinsic frames of reference in spatial memory. Participants learned the locations of objects in a room from 2 or 3 viewing perspectives. One view corresponded to the axis of bilateral symmetry of the layout, and the other view(s) was (were) nonorthogonal to the axis…

Vogel, Edward K.; Woodman, Geoffrey F.; Luck, Steven J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
How long does it take to form a durable representation in visual working memory? Several theorists have proposed that this consolidation process is very slow. Here, we measured the time course of consolidation. Observers performed a change-detection task for colored squares, and shortly after the presentation of the first array, pattern masks were…
