Passive but accessible: Studied information is not actively stored in working memory, yet attended regardless of anticipated load
EEG dataset from a visual working memory experiment testing whether previously studied (learned) object information is actively held in working memory and whether it is attended regardless of anticipated memory load. Participants memorized lateralized objects that were either studied or novel, followed by a second screen of additional items whose appearance probability manipulated expected load, and then reported a probed object's color on a continuous color wheel.
