Representation of Dynamic Spatial Configurations in Visual Short-Term Memory

Demonstration of the dynamic stimuli and types of spatial configurations used in our experiments.

Task:

Encode the location and motion of all objects into memory individually. Hold them in memory during the blank. After the blank, one object is highlighted by a red frame. Decide for this particular object whether it occupies a former location and moves the same way as any square in the memory phase.

Demo Videos:

The following videos demonstrate the different types of spatial configurations used in the experiments. All videos show no-change trials.

Note: Video playback of above demonstration flash videos judders on some machines. Playback of stimuli was smooth in the experiments.
