Variation in working-memory capacity (WMC) predicts individual differences in only some
attention-control capabilities. Whereas higher WMC subjects outperform lower WMC …

Individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) have been implicated in a variety
of top-down, attention-control tasks: Higher WMC subjects better ignore irrelevant …

The executive attention theory of working memory capacity (WMC) proposes that measures
of WMC broadly predict higher order cognitive abilities because they tap important and …

Four experiments explored the effect of cognitive load on the time course of top-down
guidance of attention from working memory (WM). Observers had to search for a target …

Previous studies have indicated that working memory capacity (WMC) is related to visual
attention when selection of critical information must be made in the face of distraction. The …

Recent perspectives on selective attention posit a central role for visual working memory
(VWM) in the top‐down control of attention. According to the biased‐competition model …

Theories of working memory (WM) differ in their claims about the number of items that can
be maintained in a state that directly interacts with other, ongoing cognitive operations …

In 2 experiments the authors examined whether individual differences in working-memory
(WM) capacity are related to attentional control. Experiment 1 tested high-and low-WM-span …

Recent research has shown that the contents of working memory (WM) can guide the early
deployment of attention in visual search. Here, we assessed whether this guidance occurred …

Working memory (WM) has been thought to include not only short-term memory stores but
also executive processes that operate on the contents of memory. The present study …
