The ability to hold visual information in mind over a brief delay is critical for acquiring information and navigating a complex visual world. Despite the ubiquitous nature of visual short-term memory (VSTM) in our everyday lives, this system is fundamentally limited in capacity. Therefore, the potential to improve VSTM through training is a growing area of research. An emerging body of literature suggests that extensive experience playing action video games yields a myriad of perceptual and attentional benefits. Several lines of converging work provide evidence that action video game play influences VSTM as well. The current study utilized a training paradigm to examine whether action video games cause improvements to the quantity and/or the quality of information stored in VSTM and whether these VSTM advantages extend visual working memory (VWM). The results suggest that VSTM capacity is increased after action video game training, as compared to training on a control game, and that some limited improvement to VSTM precision occurs with action game training as well. The VSTM improvements seen in individuals trained on an action video game are not better accounted for by differences in motivation or engagement, differential expectations, or baseline differences in demographics as compared to the control group used. However, these findings do not appear to extend to measures of VWM, nor to verbal working memory. In sum, action video game training represents a potentially unique and engaging platform by which this severely capacity-limited VSTM system might be enhanced.

The richness of visual experience far exceeds our ability to remember what we have seen. However, it is unclear what neural mechanisms give rise to these limits to visual short-term memory capacity. Here, we measured neural activity in a change localization task, in which monkeys viewed two displays of multiple colored squares separated by a brief delay, and made a saccade to the square that changed color between displays. In chapter 2, we examine local field potentials in the lateral intraparietal area (LIP), frontal eye field, and lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC). At stimulus encoding, lower frequency oscillations decreased in power in proportion to the total number of stimuli presented, while higher frequency oscillations increased in power in proportion to the number of stimuli contralateral to the recording site. During the delay, lower frequency power instead increased with the number of contralateral stimuli, while higher frequency power was not modulated. We interpret these findings in terms of roles for low- and high-frequency oscillations in changing and maintaining cognitive state. In chapter 3, we compare spiking activity between LIP, PFC, and inferotemporal cortex (IT). Although the task required that the animal remember stimulus colors, activity in LIP and PFC primarily reflected the stimulus positions, while activity in IT primarily reflected color. In PFC, color information increased with the number of stimuli presented, while in IT, color information remained constant or decreased. Thus, IT was more strongly capacity-limited than PFC. Color selectivity during the delay was weak in all regions. However, in IT, activity at test stimulus presentation reflected the difference in square colors between the sample and test displays, while in PFC, activity primarily reflected the location of the changed square. Selectivity to these attributes was stronger on correct trials than incorrect trials. Our findings suggest a possible role for passive processes in IT in visual short-term memory.

Full textDue dei più importanti costrutti della psicologia cognitiva sono l'attenzione e la memoria. Questi sono i pilastri della nostra cognizione, che permettono la selezione, la codifica e lo stoccaggio delle informazioni per raggiungere i nostri obiettivi. Attenzione e memoria sono tuttavia concetti molto ampi, che emergono entrambi dall'interazione di diversi meccanismi cognitivi. Nel presente lavoro, l'enfasi è stata posta sull'attenzione selettiva e sulla memoria visiva a breve termine come due principali stadi computazionali dell'informazione. Inoltre, l'attenzione selettiva sia nel dominio temporale che in quello spaziale è stata indagata con particolare attenzione a come questi domini influenzano in modo diverso l'efficacia del mantenimento dell'informazione visiva nella memoria a breve termine. Particolare attenzione è stata dedicata all'attività neurale alla base dei processi sopra menzionati. Pertanto, l'elettroencefalogramma ad alta densità (HD-EEG) è stato utilizzato per fornire un compromesso ottimale tra risoluzione temporale e spaziale. I primi due capitoli di questa tesi forniscono una breve introduzione al concetto di memoria visiva a breve termine (VSTM) e di attenzione selettiva. Successivamente, la relazione tra questi due processi mentali viene esaminata discutendo alcuni dei più rilevanti studi empirici sull'argomento. Nei capitoli centrali vengono presentate nuove evidenze sperimentali tratte da due diversi studi. Nel primo studio, l'attenzione è focalizzata sull'effetto dell'orientamento temporale dell'attenzione (TO) sulla memoria, puntando alla codifica (Esperimento 1a) e al mantenimento (Esperimento 1b) dell'informazione come due distinti passi computazionali della VSTM. Nel secondo studio vengono ulteriormente esplorati i pattern neurali sottostanti la rete VSTM individuati nel primo studio, approfondendo il ruolo funzionale e le relazioni dei relativi nodi di questo circuito per quanto riguarda il mantenimento dell'informazione visiva. La parte finale del presente lavoro è dedicata alla discussione delle implicazioni teoriche delle scoperte empiriche e all'individuazione di nuovi percorsi sperimentali da perseguire con l'obiettivo di estendersi ai risultati presentati.

Full textA memória de trabalho visuoespacial possui subsistemas especializados na retenção temporária de características visuais e localizações espaciais. Recentemente, diversas pesquisas procuram elucidar os mecanismos de integração (ou binding) de características na memória e como objetos integrados são temporariamente armazenados. Nesta tese, abordamos duas questões amplas: Qual a natureza de representações integradas na memória de trabalho? Há um déficit específico na integração de informações em indivíduos com dificuldades de aprendizagem? No Estudo 1, adultos jovens (estudantes universitários) realizaram tarefas de recordar localizações, objetos e conjunções objeto-localização em diferentes condições experimentais de interferência, que poderia ser uma tarefa concorrente visual ou espacial. Uma clara dissociação dupla foi observada: a discriminação de movimento dificultou a recordação de localizações e a discriminação de cores interferiu na recordação dos objetos. Tal interferência seletiva também foi observada na memória para conjunção objeto-localização, indicando que representações integradas dependem da atualização de traços de memória específicos. No Estudo 2, crianças com transtornos específicos de aprendizagem dislexia e transtorno de aprendizagem não-verbal (TANV) foram comparadas a crianças com desenvolvimento típico em três tarefas que exigiam a recordação em ordem direta e inversa de sequências de localizações, cores e conjunções cores-localizações. Crianças com TANV apresentaram déficits de memória para localizações e cores, especialmente quando as localizações deveriam ser recordadas em ordem inversa, e não houve diferenças entre grupos na tarefa de cor-localização. Os padrões observados na recordação de cores e localizações em separado não foram observados quando essas informações deveriam ser recordadas de maneira integrada, sugerindo a especificidade de processos de integração de características. Por fim, no Estudo 3, dois grupos de crianças em risco de transtornos de aprendizagem (verbal e não-verbal) foram comparadas a crianças em desenvolvimento típico em tarefas que exigiam memória para cores, formas e conjunções forma-cor. Foi observado que ambos os grupos com dificuldades de aprendizagem apresentaram um déficit de memória para a conjunção forma-cor, com memória preservada para cores e formas separadamente. Isso traz evidências adicionais que problemas de memória para conjunções podem ser generalizados para diversas populações com dificuldades de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento atípico. Resumindo, nosso conjunto de resultados estão de acordo com uma perspectiva associativa da conjunção ou binding, isto é, representações integradas resultam de ligações associativas entre diferentes tipos de traços ativados. A memória de trabalho visuoespacial parece funcionar com informações de ambos os níveis características básicas e objetos integrados.

Full textBinding consists in the integration of individual characteristics (such as color and shapes) to create a single representation (exemple: colored forms). Studies demonstrated that binding in short-term visual memory is sensitive to early changes in Alzheimer\'s disease (AD). However, it has not yet been compared the performance of individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which constitutes a risk situation for dementia, and AD. The objective of the study was to characterize the performance of three groups (healthy controls, MCI and AD) in different conditions of this short-term visual memory task, in addition to comparing them to verify if it is able to discriminate individuals with MCI from healthy elderly and AD. Were assessment 21 healthy controls, 26 MCI and 19 AD in this task and in a battery of neuropsychological tests of memory, attention, executive functions, language and constructive práxis.The cognitive performance of the three groups was compared by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). All conditions of the binding task were able to significantly differentiate the control group from CCL as well as from AD. However, only an free recall binding was able to discriminate also CCL from DA. These results corroborate the use of the shortterm visual memory binding task as an early detection tool for AD.
