视觉工作记忆（VWM）是许多认知过程中必不可少的，但它的容量明显有限。视觉感知过程是由完形原则的分组，如连通性，相似性和接近性。这就引出了一个问题：这些感知上的好处是否会延伸到VWM？如果是这样的话，这是否是一种通过优化信息处理来增强VWM功能的方法？先前的研究结果表明，几个完形原则（连通性，共同的区域，和空间邻近性）促进VWM性能的变化检测任务。一个普遍的完形原则，相似性，没有被审查方面促进VWM。在这里，我们调查是否分组的相似性的好处VWM。实验1建立了基本的发现，VWM性能可以受益于分组。实验2复制和扩展这一发现表明，相似性是唯一有效的，当类似的刺激是近端。简而言之，来自相似性的VWM性能优势受到空间接近度的限制，使得相似的项目需要彼此靠近。因此，相似性的完形原则有利于视觉感知，但它也可以为VWM提供好处。
Visual working memory (VWM) is essential for many cognitive processes yet it is notably limited in capacity. Visual perception processing is facilitated by Gestalt principles of grouping, such as connectedness, similarity, and proximity. This introduces the question: do these perceptual benefits extend to VWM? If so, can this be an approach to enhance VWM function by optimizing the processing of information? Previous findings demonstrate that several Gestalt principles (connectedness, common region, and spatial proximity) do facilitate VWM performance in change detection tasks. One prevalent Gestalt principle, similarity, has not been examined with regard to facilitating VWM. Here, we investigated whether grouping by similarity benefits VWM. Experiment 1 established the basic finding that VWM performance could benefit from grouping. Experiment 2 replicated and extended this finding by showing that similarity was only effective when the similar stimuli were proximal. In short, the VWM performance benefit derived from similarity was constrained by spatial proximity such that similar items need to be near each other. Thus, the Gestalt principle of similarity benefits visual perception, but it can provide benefits to VWM as well.
