Mindfulness Training Improves Working Memory Capacity and GRE Performance While Reducing Mind Wandering (2013, methodology): “Relative to other measures of WMC, complex span tasks such as the OSPAN are highly predictive of an individual’s performance across a range of contexts (Unsworth, Heitz, Schrock, & Engle, 2005).”
Development of Indirect Measures of Conscientiousness: Combining a Facets Approach and Network Analysis (2015, methodology): “Working memory capacity was assessed with an Automatic Operation Span Task (Conway et al., 2005; Turner & Engle, 1989; Unsworth et al., 2005).”
Brain Drain: The Mere Presence of One’s Own Smartphone Reduces Available Cognitive Capacity (2017, neutral): “…1, three participants were excluded for indicating they did not own smartphones, eight participants were excluded for failing to follow instructions, and seventeen participants were excluded due to excessive error rates on the OSpan task (less than 85% accuracy; see Unsworth et al. 2005).”
For Whom the Mind Wanders, and When (2007, methodology): “We collected usable ESM data from 124 subjects (35 male, 88 female, 1 not identified), ages 17 through 35 years (M 5 19.34, SD 5 2.41, N 5 123); the subjects were self-identified as 67% Caucasian, 25% African American, 2% Hispanic, 3% Asian, and 3% ''other.''”
The interplay of individual differences and context of learning in behavioral and neurocognitive second language development (2018, methodology): “, 2005), the Automated Reading Span Task (RSpan; Unsworth et al., 2005), and the Automated Symmetry Span Task (SSpan; Unsworth et al.”
