Change Detection Research Interests
My research interests focus on Visual Short-Term Memory (VSTM) using mainly change detection paradigms. The most intensively studied question about VSTM is its capacity of storage. It is quite clear nowadays that the capacity of VSTM, like verbal short-term memory, is drastically limited, to around approximately four visual items. But what is a "visual item"? What are the factors which may affect the VSTM capacity? The experiments I have conducted so far for my PhD have focused mainly on those non-resolved questions: what is the unit of representation stored in VSTM? How does the perceptual organization influence the capacity of VSTM? How is VSTM organized? More specifically, I am inquiring (1) whether individual feature dimensions may be stored in parallel feature-specific memory stores or/and individual feature dimensions may be bound together in VSTM, (2) whether (and how) the spatial configuration in which visual features are encoded may provide benefit to the short-term storage of these features.
