Process dynamics of serial biases in visual perception and working memory processes.

ABSTRACT: Serial dependence, a systematic bias in the perceptual decision of current stimuli toward previously encountered ones, has been debated with regard to its locus of processing, with evidence supporting both perceptual processes and post-perceptual working memory (WM) accounts. This study examined the temporal and process-specific dynamics of serial biases across perception and WM processes by analyzing behavioral responses and mouse trajectories. Participants performed two tasks: an immediate perceptual report requiring color matching on a color-wheel with the target color remained visible, and a delayed WM recall consisting of dual responses, a consolidation report immediately after target and mask offset and a retrieval report after a short delay. The results revealed a shift from repulsi
