Xinchi and Ellen in Visual Cognition

Same set of pointers for biological and non-biological objects.

Hot off the presses of Visual Cognition from Xinchi Yu and Ellen Lau, "Same set of visual pointers for biological and non-biological objects in working memory." The paper argues that limited set of pointers in Visual Working Memory does not discriminate between biological and non-biological objects. The limit is roughly three objects total, even if some are sheep and some are shapes.
