Check out our new preprint, which presents object-based retrieval processes in multisensory working memory. Here we show that unimodal feature probes incidentally reactivate untested tones and orientations of audiovisual objects. +
In addition to behavioral costs, additional regulatory mechanisms were required when feature-based prioritization and spontaneous reactivation of object-based representations created a conflict.
Furthermore, retrieving only a single feature of audiovisual objects incurs behavioral costs relative to retrieving the entire object, consistent with the hypothesized cost of 'breaking up' a bound representation in working memory.
I defended my PhD thesis last week 🥳 I felt so happy to celebrate the end of this journey with so many wonderful people. It meant more to me than I can put into words. A special thank you to my supervisor @lauraklatt.bsky.social for her constant support over four years 🍀

Can We Process Information Without Encoding It into Working Memory?
Our findings with @gidon-frischkorn.bsky.social and @koberauer.bsky.social suggest that processing entails encoding. Task-irrelevant information enters working memory during processing, impairing memory for relevant information.
Excited to share our new preprint: Temporal expectation triggers competition in working memory that leads to forgetting.
Appreciate all the help and support from Dr.Jarrod Lewis-Peacock, @bulezz.bsky.social, and @lorencelizabeth.bsky.social!
