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 …

Any mature field of research in psychology—such as short-term/working memory—is
characterized by a wealth of empirical findings. It is currently unrealistic to expect a theory to …

The multicomponent model is assumed to form an important interface between a range of
cognitive processing systems including perception and both episodic and semantic long …

Working memory (WM) has limited capacity. This leaves attention with the important role of
allowing into storage only the most relevant information. It is increasingly evident that …

The article introduces an interference model of working memory for information in a
continuous similarity space, such as the features of visual objects. The model incorporates …

The concept of attention has a prominent place in cognitive psychology. Attention can be
directed not only to perceptual information, but also to information in working memory (WM) …

Verbal Working memory (vWM) capacity measures the ability to maintain and manipulate
verbal information for a short period of time. The specific neural correlates of this construct …

We review the evidence for the 3 principal theoretical contenders that vie to explain why and
how working memory (WM) capacity is limited. We examine the possibility that capacity …

Virtually all theories agreed that if verbal short-term memory was characterized by any single
task, that task was digit span, with longer sequences of digits occupying more of the capacity …
