Can vibrotactile working memory store multiple items?
چکیده انگلیسی
Vibrotactile working memory is increasing in popularity as a model system to test theories of working memory. Notably, however, we know little about vibrotactile working memory capacity. While most other domains of working memory are able to store multiple items (for example, the seven-plus-or-minus-two capacity of verbal memory [17]), previous examinations of vibrotactile working memory suggest that stored items may suffer from high levels of interference in the form of overwriting or representation-based interference [2,4], potentially limiting capacity and also limiting our ability to draw comparisons between vibrotactile working memory and other forms of working memory. In the present study, we use a two-item delayed match-to-sample paradigm to demonstrate that subjects are able to store multiple items in vibrotactile working memory, suggesting that interference does not catastrophically limit capacity, and strengthening our ability to compare vibrotactile working memory to other working memory tasks.
