Flexibility in Working Memory: Overcoming Salience Gaspelin, N. & Cowan, N. (2025). Restoring a top-down control assumptions: Salience effects in working memory are overcome with time. Journal of Experimental Psychology: General.&nbsp…

Does salience boost object representations in working memory, or is it just a visual search artifact? In two new studies w/ Nelson Cowan, we challenge some recent studies for a more flexible model of working memory.

Read about it on my blog!
