Abstract: The biological motion refers to the continuous configuration movement of live agents in space. The perceptual processing of biological motion has the specificity of the dissociation between body form and body motion. However, there is limited evidence for whether such specificity continues when holding biological motion in working memory. We explored this question from the perspective of field dependence (FD) and field independence (FI) cognitive styles in the current study. Three categories of biological motion have been developed: intact movement, motion feature, and form feature. We examined the working memory capacity of motion features, form features, intact movements (Experiments 1-3), and the recognition of three categories of biological motion when remembering intact movements (Experiment 4). The results showed that for the motion features, FI individuals had better memory performance when remembering five items and showed greater working memory capacity and recognition compared with FD individuals, whereas the opposite pattern was observed between FI and FD individuals for the form features. The cognitive style could modulate the working memory storage of biological motion when the task becomes demanding, suggesting that body form and body motion are dissociable in working memory. Our study provided additional evidence for the specificity of biological motion processing in working memory, extending the hierarchical neural model.
