Is a Worried Citizen a Good Citizen? Emotions, Political Information Seeking, and Learning via the Internet (2008, background): “Some research suggests that information processing is enhanced at low to moderate levels, but falls off at higher levels of the emotion (Calvo and Carreiras, 1992; Hebb, 1955; Tohill and Holyoak, 2000).”
The Import of Knowledge Export: Connecting Findings and Theories of Transfer of Learning (2012, result): “Similar results have been found from manipulations that deplete working memory capacity indirectly, such as inducing anxiety in participants (Tohill & Holyoak, 2000).”
Learning by analogy: Discriminating between potential analogs (2010, background): “Adding a working memory load when undergraduates solved picture analogy problems led to greater rates of mapping correspondences based on surface features rather than on structural correspondences (Tohill & Holyoak, 2000; Waltz, Lau, Grewal, & Holyoak, 2000).”
Anxiety and cognitive performance: attentional control theory. (2007, methodology): “For example, they use a capacity-saving approach on analogical reasoning tasks, using suboptimal strategies that minimize demands on the central executive (Klein & Barnes, 1994; Tohill & Holyoak, 2000).”
