Problem
Olivers, C.N.L. and Roelfsema, P.R. (2020). Attention for action in visual working memory, Cortex, 179-194.Your written responses should be coherent and well organized, should be in your own words, and should only be as long as necessary to answer the question (typically, anywhere from ~4-10 sentences max). Additionally, your score will depend on the extent to which your responses accurately reflect the authors' ideas, draw on relevant material from the text, and demonstrate the use of critical thinking to evaluate the authors' arguments and evidence.
A. Briefly describe the traditional view of the relationship between visual attention and visual working memory (VWM) that the authors say has dominated the literature. How does the theoretical proposal the authors put forward differ from the traditional view?
B. What empirical findings do the authors cite that show a partial dissociation between attention and VWM maintenance? Give at least two examples. Why is the observed dissociation important for their argument? Get the instant assignment help.
C. Explain what the authors mean by "coupling relevant sensory and action representations within working memory." In your answer, you should explain what action coupling is, describe the two bidirectional feedback mechanisms that the authors argue are involved in this.
