Topic: future events

Visual Working Memory (VWM) is responsible for retaining and manipulating visual information. Accordingly, most of past-research has focused on investigating these properties. This study examined VWM’s ability to encode the future, specifically, representing objects and events before they appear. Methods: In Experiment 1 participants performed a change-detection task with moving objects. In the critical condition, objects moved towards each other, then met to form a new conjunction representation, while in other conditions objects moved independently. We monitored the Contralateral Delay Activ
