Top-down modulation of visual feature processing: The role of the inferior frontal junction (2010, background): “Moreover, selective attention and working memory are thought to share common neural substrates (Awh and Jonides, 2001; de Fockert et al., 2001; Desimone, 1996; LaBar et al., 1999).”

Insights into the neural basis of response inhibition from cognitive and clinical neuroscience. (2009, positive): “…of sensory aspects of emotional memories (Depue et al., 2007; Banich et al., 2009) and the suppression of interference from task-irrelevant stimuli (de Fockert et al., 2001; Dolcos and McCarthy, 2006; Michael et al., 2006 ) are in keeping with a broader inhibitory profile for this region.”
A taxonomy of external and internal attention. (2011, positive): “As a specific example, increased working memory load increased interference from distractors (de Fockert et al. 2001).”
IS BEAUTIFUL ALWAYS GOOD? IMPLICIT BENEFITS OF FACIAL ATTRACTIVENESS (2004, background): “This paradigm provides a means of assessing the influence of irrelevant stimuli on people’s responses (see De Fockert, Rees, Frith, & Lavie, 2001; Jenkins, Lavie, & IMPLICIT PERSON PERCEPTION 639”
The multi-component model of working memory: explorations in experimental cognitive psychology. (2006, background): “Third, in a series of studies, Lavie (2005; De Fockert et al., 2001; Lavie et al., 2004; Lavie and De Fockert, 2005) have shown that even a simple working memory maintenance task significantly interferes with visual attention tasks when potent distractors that strongly compete with targets are…”

Executive Dysfunction in Cocaine Addiction: Evidence for Discordant Frontal, Cingulate, and Cerebellar Activity (2004, result): “Consistent with previous studies (Bunge et al., 2001; de Fockert et al., 2001; Hester et al., 2004), increasing WM demands resulted in significantly poorer response inhibition performance and required greater activation in prefrontal and midline regions for success.”
