Attention selects the information we remember, yet the specific mechanism by which attention influences our memory remains unclear. This investigation examined a novel interpretation of how attention and memory interact: whether semantic vs. perceptual attention biases the encoding of precise-integrated representations that constrain the detail of our memories. I present two studies that examine how semantic vs. perceptual attention to illustration features impacts representation. Participants attended to perceptual or semantic features at encoding, then performed a surprise memory test for the illustrations. Study 1 showed that perceptual attention led to precision from experiences with the attended feature. Study 2 examined if perceptual ...
