Imagine This: Visualising a Recent Meal as Bigger Reduces Subsequent Snack Intake, 2022
It has previously been shown that recalling a recent meal reduces subsequent intake of palatable snacks (i.e. the meal-recall effect). The present experiment investigated whether additional mental visualisation tasks involving the recent meal memory would further suppress intake. Participants (N=151) first ate lunch at the laboratory, and then returned three hours later to...

The focus of attention in working memory
Working memory is the part of the cognitive system that holds the information we are currently thinking about.
