Cognitive control of auditory distraction: impact of task difficulty, foreknowledge, and working memory capacity supports duplex-mechanism account.
The influence of top-down cognitive control on 2 putatively distinct forms of distraction was
investigated. Attentional capture by a task-irrelevant auditory deviation (eg, a female-spoken …

Limitless capacity: A dynamic object-oriented approach to short-term memory
The notion of capacity-limited processing systems is a core element of cognitive accounts of
limited and variable performance, enshrined within the short-term memory construct. We …

Postcategorical auditory distraction in short-term memory: Insights from increased task load and task type.
Task-irrelevant speech impairs short-term serial recall appreciably. On the interference-by-
process account, the processing of physical (ie, precategorical) changes in speech yields …
