Feature-based memory-driven attentional capture: visual working memory content affects visual attention. (2006, positive): “Farah’s findings resonate with a more recent study by Downing (2000), who found that probe stimuli were faster detected when presented on a background picture that matched the picture observers had to remember in an accompanying memory task, relative to an unrelated control picture. However, althoug”
Action control by implementation intentions : effective cue detection and efficient response initiation (2007, background): “Indeed, attention research observes that active maintenance of a cue does shift attention to it even when not goal–relevant (Downing, 2000).”
A taxonomy of external and internal attention. (2011, positive): “For example, maintenance of spatial locations in working memory biases spatial attention to those locations (Awh & Jonides 2001, Corbetta & Shulman 2002), and these biases occur for specific shapes as well (Downing 2000, Soto et al. 2005).”
Memory and the brain. (2002, background): “Attention filters incoming information, allowing only relevant information into working memory.(46) Intense attention has a strong positive effect on tests of explicit memory, whereas attention has minimal value dur-”
The role of working memory in sport (2010, background): “Today, there is plenty of evidence showing that the contents of WM influence the guidance of selective attention (Awh, Jonides, & Reuter-Lorenz, 1998; Downing, 2000; Huang & Pashler, 2007; Soto, Heinke, Humphreys, & Blanco, 2005; Soto & Humphreys, 2007, 2008).”
The reorienting system of the human brain: from environment to theory of mind. (2008, positive): “These top-down signals, characterized as working memory (e.g., Downing, 2000; but see Woodman and Luck, 2007), long-term memory (Moores et al., 2003), or action related (Craighero et al., 2002; Rosenbaum, 1991), interact with sensory (bottom-up) signals produced by objects in the visual scene,…”
Orienting Attention to Locations in Internal Representations (2003, background): “The Downing (2000) study showed that the contents of WM can guide selective attention.”
The neurovascular coupling in the attention during visual working memory (2023, unknown): “Various processes of attention 6 dynamically interacting with vWM have been studied, including vigilance [9], selective 7 attention [10], and sustained attention [11].”
