Resumo

A memória operacional ainda apresenta várias questões pouco compreendidas. O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar a eficiência de retrodicas atentivas no processo de manutenção da informação visuoespacial na memória operacional. Foram delineados dois experimentos, definidos por uma tarefa única (memorização) ou dupla (memorização e busca visual). Os resultados sugerem que o efeito da retrodica informativa proporcionou uma melhora na probabilidade de recuperação da informação memorizada na presença ou na ausência da tarefa de busca visual, mesmo em condições que a busca era iniciada 50 ms após a apresentação da retrodica. Esse resultado é discutido em termos de um processo de múltiplas etapas no processo de alocação da atenção na memória operacional visual.
