Visual working memory models of delayed estimation do not generalize to whole-report tasks
Benjamin Cuthbert, Dominic Standage, Martin Paré, Gunnar Blohm
The paper shows that models of visual working memory developed for single-report tasks fail to generalize to whole-report tasks due to assumptions about stimulus independence and encoding.
