so for this paragraph do i have an adaptation-De Vito and Fenske (2018) explore the dynamics within visual working memory, specifically investigating how active and accessory representations function differently. Their research supports the notion that inhibition is crucial for distinguishing between these memory states. Through experiments involving memorization tasks, the study reveals that only active representations influence visual searches, indicating that inhibition might suppress accessory memories to maintain focus on relevant tasks. This finding is particularly relevant to understanding how distractions might influence working memory processes. If accessory memories are inhibited to prevent distraction in focused tasks, then environments with frequent distractions may shift how often accessory items emerge as active, potentially disrupting information retention in short-term memory. This reveals a crucial gap: the extent to which real-world distractions alter inhibition patterns within working memory, thereby influencing the stability of both active and accessory representations in short-term retention
