Simple and complex memory spans and their relation to fluid abilities: Evidence from list-length effects (2006, background): “Furthermore, this ability may require the use of attentional control for accurate performance on measures of Xuid abilities ( Unsworth & Engle, 2005a ).”
The cognitive underpinnings of creative thought: A latent variable analysis exploring the roles of intelligence and working memory in three creative thinking processes (2013, background): “Working memory capacity is a well-documented executive ability that has shown to relate strongly to fluid intelligence (Conway, Cowan, Bunting, Therriault, & Minkoff, 2002; Conway, Kane, & Engle, 2003; Engle et al., 1999; Unsworth & Engle, 2005).”
Toward a Science of Effective Cognitive Training (2020, background): “For example, it has been shown that it is not WM span per se that is related to intelligence (Unsworth & Engle, 2005) but rather a shared executive attention-control mechanism required for the active maintenance of information in the face of concurrent processing and interference.”
Chapter Six - How Working Memory Capacity Affects Problem Solving (2012, background): “Likewise, other researchers have demonstrated that the correlation of performance on individual RPM items with WMC is independent of the number of rules contained in the item (Unsworth & Engle, 2005).”
Opening up Openness to Experience: A Four-Factor Model and Relations to Creative Achievement in the Arts and Sciences. (2013, methodology): “Prior research has demonstrated significant correlations between Operation Span and g (e.g., Unsworth & Engle, 2005) and a high loading of Operation Span on a general working memory factor (Kane et al., 2004).”
Visuospatial working memory in intuitive geometry, and in academic achievement in geometry (2013, unknown): “This latter distinction has been described in many ways, e.g. by differentiating between simple storage and complex span tasks (Unsworth & Engle, 2005), or between passive processes (as in simple storage tasks) and active processes (as in complex span tasks) (Cornoldi & Vecchi, 2003), where the…”
On the failure of cognitive ability to predict myside and one-sided thinking biases (2008, unknown): “…working memory capacity, and the efficiency of the retrieval of information stored in long-term memory (Ackerman, Kyllonen, & Richards, 1999; Carpenter, Just, & Shell, 1990; Deary, 2000, 2001; Hunt, 1987, 1999; Kane & Engle, 2002; Lohman, 2000; Sternberg, 1977, 1985, 2000; Unsworth & Engle, 2005).”
A temporal–contextual retrieval account of complex span: An analysis of errors (2006, unknown): “... of higher-order cognitive abilities such as reading comprehension (Daneman & Carpenter, 1980), learning (Kyllonen & Stephens, 1990; Unsworth & Engle, 2005a), performance on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT; Turner & Engle, 1989), and measures of fluid abilities (Ackerman, Beier, & Boyle, 2002; ”
An integrated process model of stereotype threat effects on performance. (2008, background): “Moreover, the cues that feed into the appraisal process stem from the primed state of cognitive imbalance (Path f in Figure 1), the heightened state of stress (Path g in Figure 1), and the monitoring system (Path h in Figure 1).”
Distinguishing the reflective, algorithmic, and autonomous minds: Is it time for a tri-process theory? (2008, background): “This is the reason why several studies have shown very strong correlations between executive functioning and fluid intelligence (Conway et al., 2003; Kane et al., 2005; Salthouse et al., 2003; Unsworth and Engle, 2005).”
Working memory training does not improve intelligence in healthy young adults (2012, background): “When Jaeggi et al. (2010) replicated their results, they defended their time constraint testing protocol by citing studies by Salthouse (1993) and Unsworth and Engle (2005) that suggested no evidence for differential workingmemory effects for the various items on the RAPM.”
Learning mathematics through algorithmic and creative reasoning (2014, methodology): “…Therriault, & Minkoff, 2002; Engle, Tuholski, Laughlin, & Conway, 1999; Klein & Fiss, 1999), and t correlates well with other measures of WMC and higher-order tasks (Conway et al., 2002; Unsworth & Engle, 2005). perations Span is computer based and the responses are entered using a keyboard.”
The nature of individual differences in working memory capacity: active maintenance in primary memory and controlled search from secondary memory. (2007, background): “…has been devoted to examining the link between measures of WMC and measures of fluid abilities (Ackerman, Beier, & Boyle, 2002; Conway, Cowan, Bunting, Therriault, & Minkoff, 2002; Engle, Tuholski, Laughlin, & Conway, 1999; Kane et al., 2004; Kyllonen & Christal, 1990; Unsworth & Engle, 2005).”
Raven's Matrices and Working Memory: A Dual-Task Approach (2013, background): “Unsworth and Engle (2005) conclude that it is the demand for attentional control rather than the need to simultaneously hold several goals that is crucial, concluding that “it is the central executive component of working memory that is important” (Unsworth & Engle, 2005, p. 78), relating their…”
The Relationship between N-Back Performance and Matrix Reasoning--Implications for Training and Transfer. (2010, methodology): “It should be noted though that scores in timed versions of the APM are nicely predictive of scores in untimed versions (Frearson & Eysenck, 1986; Hamel & Schmittmann, 2006; Heron & Chown, 1967; Salthouse, 1993; Unsworth & Engle, 2005).”
