The ability to selectively process information (attention) and to retain information in an
accessible state (working memory) are critical aspects of our cognitive capacities. While …

There is broad agreement that working memory is closely related to attention. This article
delineates several theoretical options for conceptualizing this link, and evaluates their …

Working memory retains information and makes it available for processing. People often
need to hold several chunks of information available while concentrating on only one of …

Studies of attention and working memory address the fundamental limits in our ability to
encode and maintain behaviorally relevant information, processes that are critical for goal …

Some research on attentional control in working memory has emphasized theoretical
capacity differences. However, strategic behavior, which has been relatively unexplored …

The relationship between working memory and selective attention has traditionally been
discussed as operating in one direction: Attention filters incoming information, allowing only …

The relation between attention and memory has long been deemed important for
understanding cognition, and it was heavily researched even in the first experimental …

Working memory (WM) and attention have been studied as separate cognitive constructs,
although it has long been acknowledged that attention plays an important role in controlling …

Working memory capacity is traditionally treated as a unitary construct that can be explained
using one cognitive mechanism (eg, storage, attention control). Several recent studies have …

Working memory, the system that maintains a limited set of representations for immediate
use in cognition, is a central part of human cognition. Three processes have recently been …
