Abstract:
When people find that someone else is looking in a certain direction, they automaticallyfollow his gaze and notice the same location, which is known as joint attention. Working memory is amemory system with limited energy for processing and storage. It has the characteristics of transience andprocessability. The process of working memory consists of three successive stages: encoding, maintaining,and retrieval. Whether joint attention affects working memory retention is not yet known. This studycombined gaze cues with classical visual working memory tasks to explore the influence of the consistencyof gaze cues direction and memory item location on the retention stage of working memory. The resultsshowed that the direction of gaze cues had no significant effect on the retention of working memory, andthe level of autistic trait was not found.
当人们发现其他人正在看某个方向时,他们会自动跟随他的注视并注意到同样的位置,这就是共同注意。工作记忆是一种具有有限能量处理和存储的记忆系统。它具有短暂性和可加工性的特点。工作记忆的过程包括三个连续的阶段:编码、保持和检索。共同注意是否影响工作记忆的保持还尚未可知。研究结合注视线索和经典的视觉工作记忆任务,探讨了注视线索方向和记忆项目位置的一致性对工作记忆保持阶段的影响。结果并未发现注视线索方向对工作记忆保持有显著性影响,也未发现自闭特质水平在其中的作用。
