Why short memory delay leads to errors in life
While planning a visual task, your brain initially reflects the visual goal accurately but errors accumulate during a memory delay and further escalate during the final action, say scientists from York University.
Toronto: While planning a visual task, your brain initially reflects the visual goal accurately but errors accumulate during a memory delay and further escalate during the final action, say scientists from York University.
“Think of all the times you see something and plan to act on it but after only a short delay, you make a mistake," said professor Doug Crawford.
“For example, before my morning coffee kicks in, I'm great at making silly mistakes like putting the honey away in the fridge instead of the peanut butter,” he added.
For the study, led by AmirsamanSajad in Crawford's visuomotor neuroscience lab, researchers recorded signals in the frontal cortex area of the brain during the delay between target-related visual activity and intended gaze-related motor activity.
The visual response and memory activity for the time in between was then analysed.
