Visual working memory prioritization modulates serial dependence beyond simple attentional effects.
Article in BMC biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSerial dependence (SD) is a contextual bias in visual processing, where current perception is influenced by past stimuli. This study explores how prioritization in visual working memory (VWM) modulates SD through three experiments.
resultsExperiment 1 revealed that tasks requiring active memory maintenance (thus prioritization in VWM) amplified SD, with stronger biases observed when participants retained prior stimuli for extended periods. Conversely, Experiments 2 and 3, which employed pre- and post-cueing in a dual-stimuli setup, found no significant differences in SD strength between congruent and incongruent conditions, suggesting that simple attentional prioritization alone does not influence SD magnitude.
conclusionsThe results highlight the nuanced interplay between memory maintenance, attention, and perceptual biases, suggesting that SD arises from complex interactions beyond simple attentional mechanisms. This study advances the understanding of SD within perceptual decision-making, underscoring the role of memory maintenance in shaping visual judgments.
