summaryIn this talk I will review recent research on different aspects of information-binding in working memory* in the context of Baddeley's (2000) concept of an 'episodic buffer'. One set of studies uses dual-task methodology to examine the role of attention in short-term memory for combinations of visual features such as color and shape. Another set of studies uses the same dual-task approach to study chunking based on linguistic knowledge in verbal short-term memory. Further studies explore the binding of serial order information in short-term memory for sequences of unfamiliar faces, making comparisons with memory for verbal sequences. Results are discussed in terms of the utility of distinguishing between an attention-demanding central binding mechanism (such as the episodic buffer) and automatic, domain-specific binding mechanisms. * in collaboration with Alan Baddeley and Richard Allen (University of York), Paul Karlsen (University of Oslo), Brenda Flude, Dennis Hay, Neil Horton and Mary Smyth (University of Lancaster), Neil Burgess (University College London).
