摘要: 人类有限的信息加工系统只允许注意从外界环境中选择少量的信息进行深入加工, 在注意选择过程中工作记忆表征会以自上而下的方式引导注意优先选择视觉情境中与之相同或相似的刺激。本文系统综述了有关工作记忆表征对视觉注意的引导作用的研究文献,并对注意引导效应是否是自动化过程, 言语工作记忆表征能否引导注意及注意引导效应是否总是存在这三个争议问题进行了论述, 发现工作表征能自上而下地引导注意, 但存在诸多制约条件。

Abstract: People had to select specific information from complex visual scene every time to avoid overloading the limited information processing system. When extracting relevant information from a complex visual environment, working memory (WM) representation would bias attention to stimuli that were the same or the similar to the search target, as to optimize target selection while ignoring the distractors. The present study systematically reviewed the emerging evidences on the attentional guidance from WM representations. After discussing the following three controversial issues: Could WM guide attention automatically? Could verbal WM guide attention? And did WM always guide attention? We concluded that the WM could top-down guide attention, but it was subjected to some constrains.

Key words: working memory, visual attention, attentional guidance
