Two visual working memory representations simultaneously control attention

Abstract It has been proposed that only one visual working memory (VWM) representation can be activated to influence perception directly, whereas other VWM representations are accessory items which have little influence on visual selection. The sole active VWM representation might reflect a fundamen...

However, the present study showed that each of two VWM representations can capture attention and interfere with concurrent visual search.
