Project description
Until recently, it was assumed that information that is temporarily stored in working memory is represented in a visual or auditory format. Recent research has given rise to doubt such an interpretation, because abstract categorical, as well as other non-relevant objectproperties are stored as well. The current project will study how non-visual information plays a role in visual working memory.
