Role of time in binding features in visual working memory.

ABSTRACT: Previous research on feature binding in visual working memory has supported a privileged role for location in binding an object's nonspatial features. However, humans are able to correctly recall feature conjunctions of objects that occupy the same location at different times. In a series of behavioral experiments, we investigated binding errors under these conditions, and specifically tested whether ordinal position can take the role of location in mediating feature binding. We performed two dual report experiments in which participants had to memorize three colored shapes presented sequentially at the screen center. When participants were cued with the ordinal position of one item and had to report its shape and color, report errors for the two features were largely uncorrelated. In cont
