Beyond flatland: naturalistic three-dimensional stimuli and visual working memory processing

Visual working memory (VWM) enables the temporary storage and manipulation of visual information, yet its limited capacity makes it sensitive to the amount and structure of the information it must retain. The vast majority of previous VWM research has used two-dimensional stimuli, while real-world visual perception incorporates depth-related spatial cues which may affect performance. Prior work suggests that depth could enhance VWM performance by enabling perceptual enrichment and better individ
