The cocktail party phenomenon revisited: The importance of working memory capacity (2001, background): “The function of working memory is to actively maintain goal-relevant information in the service of complex cognition (Baddeley & Hitch, 1974; Miyake & Shah, 1999 ).”
The role of prefrontal cortex in working-memory capacity, executive attention, and general fluid intelligence: An individual-differences perspective (2002, background): “To summarize our view, the WM construct is assumed to be a hierarchicalsystem involvingshort-term-memory (STM) representational components plus a general, executive-attention component (see Baddeley & Hitch, 1974; Baddeley & Logie, 1999; Cowan, 1995, 1999).”
On the Control of Control: The Role of Dopamine in Regulating Prefrontal Function and Working Memory (2007, background): “Increased distractibility and perseveration are hallmarks of neurological damage to PFC (Darnasio 1985; Engle, Kane, and Thholski 1999; Milner 1963; Owen et al. 1991; Stuss and Benson 1986) and of psychiatric disorders known to involve P'FC such as schizophrenia (Malmo 1974; Nuechterlein and Dawson…”
A new tool for measuring and understanding individual differences in the component processes of reading comprehension (2001, background): “These findings should be of theoretical interest to the increasing number of researchers interested in determining what working memory span measures such as reading span are really measuring (see Miyake & Shah, 1999, for a recent review).”
Literacy and Cognitive Functioning in Bilingual and Nonbilingual Children at or Not at Risk for Reading Disabilities (2004, background): “The central executive system is considered to be primarily responsible for coordinating activity within the cognitive system, but it also devotes some of its resources to increasing the amount of information that can be held in the two subsystems (Baddeley & Logie, 1999).”
