| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project investigated whether allocating attention to visual working memory protects the attended items from visual interference or makes it more susceptible. A series of psychological experiments supported the latter view. Also, a series of eye-tracking experiments was conducted to study the role of attention during visual working memory retention and retrieval. Finally, in order to explain both the psychological experiments and eye-tracking studies,a computational model was implemented. The model implemented the role of eye-tracking-based attention during retention and retrieval, and then successfully reproduced the data from psychological experiments.
