What mechanisms underlie the prioritization of neural representations of the surrounding environment in order to effectively guide behavior? Selective attention is the ability to preferentially process incoming sensory information that is relevant for the task at hand, maximizing the deployment of finite cognitive resources. In situations where the relevant information is non-temporally coincident, the suite of cognitive functions collectively referred to as Working Memory enable the temporary maintenance of relevant sensory representations in the absence of sustained input. For primarily historical reasons, these two cognitive phenomena have been treated separately by the field, though recent theoretical formulations of working memory have recognized the parsimonious appeal of a common mechanism underlying both the prioritization of sensory representations of information still present in the environment and from the recent past. Here, the results of three studies addressing the commonality of mechanism between tasks of visual selective attention and working memory are reported, with a specific focus on the effects of task-dependent prioritization on neural population-level representations.
