Abstract
As we move around, relevant information that disappears from sight can still be held in working memory to serve upcoming behaviour. How we maintain and select visual information as we move through the environment remains poorly understood since most laboratory tasks of working memory rely on removing visual material while participants remain still. We used virtual reality (VR) to study visual working memory following self-movement in immersive environments. Directional biases in gaze revealed the recruitment of more than one spatial frame for maintaining and selecting memoranda following self-movement. The findings bring the important realisation that multiple spatial frames support working memory in natural behaviour. The results also illustrate how VR can be a critical experimental tool to characterise this core memory system.
