📣 Out in TINS (@cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social):

Neural processing is often described as either externally or internally directed. In our new Forum article, we (@freekvanede.bsky.social & Kia Nobre) propose a multilevel framework for conceptualising external and internal continua of brain processes.

Finally, our results suggest the concurrent availability of both visual and motor memory attributes following the interrupting response. (7|9)

Second, reselection occurs immediately after the interrupting task response, regardless of the anticipated timing of memory-guided behavior. (6|9)

Our findings advance our understanding of how we resume internal WM focus after interruption in three key ways. First, we show how both motor and visual-spatial contents are reselected in WM following an interrupting perceptual task. (5|9)

We considered multiple scenarios of WM reselection after interruption. In terms of content, either motor alone or both motor and visual-spatial contents could be reselected. In terms of timing, reselection could occur immediately after the interruption or just in time to guide WM behavior. (4|9)

We employed a visual-motor WM task in which participants were retrospectively cued to select one of two memory items before being interrupted by a perceptual discrimination task. (2|9)

The results from Experiments 1 and 2 suggest that shifting between attentional domains might be regulated by a unique control function. (6|7)

While biases in fixational gaze behaviour tracked attentional orienting in both domains, we observed no latency or magnitude difference for within - versus between-domain shifts. (5|7)

Experiment 2 revealed that these between-domain shift costs persisted even when participants were given more time to complete the attentional shift. (4|7)

We observed greater behavioural costs when shifting attention between versus within domains. That is, shifts of attention between perception and working memory (and vice versa) were more costly than shifts within a single domain. (3|7)

We developed a combined perception and working-memory task to explore the consequences of shifting attention within and between domains. In this task, participants were sequentially cued to attend to items in working memory or to an upcoming sensory stimulation. (2|7)
