Short-term memory: where do we stand?

View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

Two empirical challenges to the traditional "modal model" of short-term memory are that neither the Brown-Peterson distractor technique nor the recency effect in recall is well accommodated by that position. Additionally, the status of memory stores as such, has declined in response to proceduralist thinking. At the same time, the concept of coding, on which the modal model is silent, is increasingly central to memory theory. People need to remember things in the short term, but a dedicated store does not need to be the agency.

Do self-reports of perceptual anomalies reflect gating deficits in schizophrenia patients?

Jin and colleagues presented an innovative study examining P50 suppression and patients' self-reported perceptual anomalies as two related operational measures of sensory gating deficits in schizophrenia patients. They found that those schizophrenia patients who endorsed experiences of sensory inundation had normal levels of P50 suppression, whereas patients who tended to endorse fewer complaints of perceptual anomalies had P50 suppression deficits. Jin et al's finding challenges the common belief that P50 suppression deficits are associated with cognitive and sensory anomalies reflecting poor gating in schizophrenia patients. This article comments on how the dissociation between phenomenological experiences of gating disturbances and P50 suppression might be explained by the limits of self-report in schizophrenia patients who have deficient insight and self-awareness. We hypothesize that the self-reported inability to screen out irrelevant stimuli reflects a voluntary, controlled process that is different from the involuntary, automatic process measured by P50 suppression.

Hierarchical visual processing is dependent on the oculomotor system.

Using functional MRI and eye movement recordings we studied the processing of hierarchical stimuli. In agreement with others, we found a minor left hemispheric dominance during local and right dominance during global processing. When attention was directed locally, well-known oculomotor cortical areas were activated, and saccades were elicited in 41% of the trials. Their latencies were similar to pro-saccades. During global processing virtually no saccades occurred. These results suggest two different operational modes of attention. Attending to local features induces a shift of attention, which simultaneously computes a saccade on any level above the brainstem with a computational burden equal to reflexive saccades. Conversely, attending to global features induces an expansion of the focus of attention, which reinforces fixation.

Attentional suppression of activity in the human visual cortex.

We have used fMRI to examine the nature of the changes that occur in the human visual cortex when an observer attends to a particular location in the visual image. Previous studies have shown that the magnitude of the response to a visual stimulus is increased when the observer attends to the stimulus. We show that, in addition, attention to a particular location results in a widespread suppression of activity levels at all other locations. This suggests that a key mechanism of attentional modulation may be that spontaneous (baseline) levels of neural activity are adjusted in a position-dependent manner across the entire visual field.
