{"pk":27370,"title":"Bridging Visual Working Memory Research from Infancy through Adulthood with\nDynamic Neural Field Modeling","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Theories that span tasks and developmental periods require\nexplaining how a single cognitive system can flexibly adapt\nacross contexts yet show stable age-related improvement. Here\nwe present a computational model that embodies a unified the-\nory of visuospatial cognitive development. We use this model\nto bridge between previously disconnected domains, as diverse\nas infant habituation and visual working memory capacity in\nadults. We illustrate how the same real-time and developmental\nprocesses can account for behavior across tasks and age groups.\nWe conclude with a discussion of the implications of a unified\ntheory for understanding cognition and development more\nbroadly, with an eye toward early intervention.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"visual cognition; working memory; development;\ninfancy; neural field model"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1nk7q1s2","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Vanessa","middle_name":"R.","last_name":"Simmering","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Wisconson - Madison","department":""},{"first_name":"Sammy","middle_name":"","last_name":"Perone","name_suffix":"","institution":"Washington State University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27370/galley/17006/download/"}]}
