thanks! we really like this paradigm 😇

New paper in PBR: "Working memory’s pointer system is governed by physical objecthood, not spatiotemporal information"

Without valid WM pointers, we miss OBVIOUS changes in visible items; the study shows that this "resetting" process is all about objects and not spatiotemporal change!

"The capacity limits of moving objects in the imagination"

(by Balaban & me)

of interest to people thinking about the imagination, intuitive physics, mental simulation, capacity limits, and more

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Out now in TiCS, something i've been thinking about a lot:

"Physics vs. graphics as an organizing dichotomy in cognition"

(by Balaban & me)

relevant for many people, related to imagination, intuitive physics, mental simulation, aphantasia, and more

hooray, it's out!

"Electrophysiology Reveals That Intuitive Physics Guides Visual Tracking and Working Memory"

(in Open Mind)

(by Balaban, Smith, Tenenbaum, and me)
