Table 1.
VWM studies in which training were investigated in humans.
Fig 1.
Examples of trial sequences in the pretest and posttest (a), the filtering training (b), and the consolidation training (c).
The arrows indicate which memory array out of the two sides had to be remembered. The color-filled squares represented the target items to be remembered, and the color-outlined squares the distractor items to be ignored (b). The task was to judge whether the memory array and the test array were the same or different. (b) and (c) show examples of correct answers, same and different, respectively. Finally, the SOA represents the stimulus onset asynchrony, which includes the duration of the memory array.

Memory capacity H in the five set sizes across the three groups in the pretest and posttest.
Fig 3.
Thresholds (expressed in pixels and in milliseconds, ms) shown in both the filtering and consolidation groups across the ten training sessions.
The distractor areas show the threshold changes in the filtering training, and the ISIs show the threshold changes in the consolidation training. The error bars indicate the standard error of the mean.
Fig 4.
Correlation between training gains and threshold improvements across the training sessions.
Tie point 1 (represented by the vertical dotted line) indicates the point at which the threshold of the first session was the same as that of the last session, showing no learning from the training. The error bars indicate the standard error of the mean.
