We, as human beings, inhabit a visually rich world that necessitates the cooperation of various cognitive systems to function and adapt effectively within this environment. Notably, visual attention plays a crucial role in selectively focusing on specific information and further processing it, facilitating efficient information processing. Working memory (WM) enables us to temporarily store and manipulate the information captured by attention, allowing us to handle more complex tasks. Furthermore, our emotional system actively participates in both attention and WM processes, by exerting influence and bias on them. Undoubtedly, the interconnectedness of these three systems is of great importance. However, it is common for researchers to investigate these cognitive processes separately, which ultimately leads to a limited understanding of the underlying neural basis and the interactions among them. Thus, the objective of this Research Topic collection is to bring together researchers from these three areas, with a particular focus on studies exploring the underlying interactions and mechanisms between these functions and how they mutually influence each other.

An examination of the cognitive functions associated with rapid naming of objects and letters in children and adults
Riihimäki, Hanna (2023)To date, it is unclear which cognitive functions influence performance in rapid automatized naming (RAN) tasks. Potential underlying processes include phonological processing (Vaessen et al., 2009), processing speed (Kail ... -
Sustained attention required for effective dimension-based retro-cue benefit in visual working memory
Liu, Ruyi; Guo, Lijing; Sun, Hong-jin; Parviainen, Tiina; Zhou, Zifang; Cheng, Yuxin; Liu, Qiang; Ye, Chaoxiong (Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), 2023)In visual working memory (VWM) tasks, participants’ performances can be improved through the use of dimension-based retro-cues, which direct internal attention to prioritize a particular dimension (e.g., color or orientation) ... -

Perceptual encoding benefit of visual memorability on visual memory formation
Ye, Chaoxiong; Guo, Lijing; Wang, Nathan; Liu, Qiang; Xie, Weizhen (Elsevier, 2024)Human observers often exhibit remarkable consistency in remembering specific visual details, such as certain face images. This phenomenon is commonly attributed to visual memorability, a collection of stimulus attributes ... -
