“…In addition, our study adds new evidence supporting the perception-alike hypothesis. Several studies have consistently demonstrated the many similarities between visual perception and VWM Gao, Bentin, & Shen, 2015;Gao et al, 2016;Serences et al, 2009). For instance, VWM and perception follow similar gestalt principles.…”

“…In addition, there is a considerable amount of research demonstrating that the gestalt grouping principles (connectedness, common region, color similarity, and spatial proximity) facilitate VWM performance (Gao, Gao, Tang, Shui, & Shen, 2016;Peterson & Berryhill, 2013;Quinlan & Cohen, 2012;Woodman, Vecera, & Luck, 2003;Xu, 2006). To some extent, improvements in performance can be attributed to the fact that a low-level perceptual grouping treats multiple individual items as a single unit in memory.…”

Any mature field of research in psychology-such as short-term/working memory-is characterized by a wealth of empirical findings. It is currently unrealistic to expect a theory to explain them all; theorists must satisfice with explaining a subset of findings. The aim of the present article is to make the choice of that subset less arbitrary and idiosyncratic than is current practice. We propose criteria for identifying benchmark findings that every theory in a field should be able to explain: Benchmarks should be reproducible, generalize across materials and methodological variations, and be theoretically informative. We propose a set of benchmarks for theories and computational models of short-term and working memory. The benchmarks are described in as theory-neutral a way as possible, so that they can serve as empirical common ground for competing theoretical approaches. Benchmarks are rated on three levels according to their priority for explanation. Selection and ratings of the benchmarks is based on consensus among the authors, who jointly represent a broad range of theoretical perspectives on working memory, and they are supported by a survey among other experts on working memory. The article is accompanied by a web page providing an open forum for discussion and for submitting proposals for new benchmarks; and a repository for reference data sets for each benchmark.

“…In the context of RSVP, however, the delay between the successive parts of the Kanizsa figure may have been sufficient. The results suggested that the targets were individually selected in all cases and that no further attentional benefits were obtained from putting the Kanizsa parts together at a later stage, such as in working memory, which has previously been shown to make use of illusory shapes (Gao et al, 2015). …”

The effects of Kanizsa contours on temporal integration and attention in rapid serial visual presentation

Performance in rapid serial visual presentation tasks has been shown to depend on the temporal integration of target stimuli when they are presented in direct succession. Temporal target integration produces a single, combined representation of visually compatible stimuli, which is comparatively easy to identify. It is currently unknown to what extent target compatibility affects this perceptual behavior, because it has not been studied systematically to date. In the present study, the effects of compatibility on temporal integration and attention were investigated by manipulating the Gestalt properties of target features. Of particular interest were configurations in which a global illusory shape was formed when all stimulus features were present; a Kanizsa stimulus, which was expected to have a unifying effect on the perception of the successive targets. The results showed that although the presence of a Kanizsa shape can indeed enhance temporal integration, this also was observed for other good Gestalts, such as due to common fate and closure. Identification accuracy seemed to vary, possibly as a result of masking strength, but this did not seem associated with attentional processing per se. Implications for theories of Gestalt processing and temporal integration are discussed.
