Aging and verbal memory span: a meta-analysis. (2005, background): “Participants are sometimes to answer a question about the sentences in true–false or p s : / a c ade multiple-choice format.”
Distinguishing the reflective, algorithmic, and autonomous minds: Is it time for a tri-process theory? (2008, background): “…from converging work on executive function (Baddeley et al., 2001; Duncan, et al., 2000; Hasher et al., 1999; Kane, 2003; Kane and Engle, 2002; Salthouse et al., 2003) and working memory (Conway et al., 2003; Engle, 2002; Geary, 2005; Kane et al., 2001; Kane and Engle, 2003; Kane et al., 2005 ).”
For Whom the Mind Wanders, and When (2007, background): “Indeed, people with higher WMC outperform those with lower WMC on attention tasks requiring the active maintenance of novel goals in order to override habitual responding (Kane, Bleckley, Conway, & Engle, 2001).”
CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK AND WORKING MEMORY CAPACITY IN INTERACTION-DRIVEN L2 LEARNING (2012, background): “…mechanism operates in noticing recasts, individual differences in WMC still impact the extent to which learners notice recasts because WMC variation is also mirrored in learner performance on simple attention-control tasks (e.g., Conway et al., 2001 ; Kane et al., 2001 ; Kane & Engle, 2003 ).”
The relations among inhibition and interference control functions: a latent-variable analysis. (2004, background): “…and resisting distractor interference require maintaining the task goal in a state of high activation in the face of more dominant but inappropriate responses or distracting stimuli present in the environment (as suggested by the above quote about controlled attention by Kane et al., 2001).”
Variation in Cognitive Failures: An Individual Differences Investigation of Everyday Attention and Memory Failures. (2012, background): “…that measures of WMC are most pronounced in situations where task goals have to be maintained, particularly in the presence of internal and external distraction as in tasks like the antisaccade, Stroop, flankers, and various vigilance tasks (e.g., Kane et al., 2001; Unsworth & Spillers, 2010).”
The Ease of Language Understanding (ELU) model: theoretical, empirical, and clinical advances (2013, background): “…kind of cognitive tuning of the brain does not seem to involve any explicit processing component, although it is dependent on WMC. WMC is related to the ability to inhibit processing of irrelevant information and overrule undesired but pre-potent responses (e.g., Kane et al., 2001; Engle, 2002).”
Does working memory training generalize (2010, background): “For instance, high WMC individuals are not only faster at performing the antisaccade task, which requires participants to suppress and redirect reflexive eye movements, but are less apt to make inappropriate eye movements in the first place (Kane et al., 2001; Unsworth, Schrock & Engle, 2004).”
How are visuospatial working memory, executive functioning, and spatial abilities related? A latent-variable analysis. (2001, result): “tion. In addition, subsequent research has also demonstrated that performance on a WM span task (operation span) can reliably predict performance on various cognitive tasks (such as the antisaccade task) that require deliberate, controlled processing in the face of distracting information but do not”
Insights into the neural basis of response inhibition from cognitive and clinical neuroscience. (2009, positive): “Indeed, the ability to maintain items actively in working memory while resisting interference is considered to be the essential determinant of working memory capacity (Engle et al., 1999; Kane et al., 2001; Kane and Engle, 2003 ).”
