Researchers from the Higher School of Economics in cognitive psychology have experimentally demonstrated that the color and orientation of objects are stored and processed independently in working memory. However, it is easier for a person to remember these features when they belong to the same object - for example, it is easier for a person to remember and understand one graph in which both parameters are presented (marked, for example, by the color and shape of the line) than two different graphs in which these parameters are separated. The results of the experiment were published in the journal Acta Psychologica.
