Attention Control: A Cornerstone of Higher-Order Cognition (2020, background): “Millions of years of evolution have primed us to look toward things that move, because things that move can eat us, or we can eat them (Engle, 2010).”
Measuring Working Memory Capacity With Automated Complex Span Tasks (2012, methodology): “For example, Kane and Engle (2003) compared high- and low-WMC individuals on accuracy and response times to different Stroop task conditions by manipulating the frequency of incongruent trials, the order of task conditions, and the presence of feedback.”
The Phonological Loop (2010, background): “…of decay of this memory trace are not clear yet, but an important element in this process seems to be the existence of competing stimuli that interfere with the trace or act as distractors (see Lewis, Vasishth, and Van Dyke 2006; see also Barnard 2010; Beaman 2010; Engle 2010, all in this issue).”
Disentangling the relationship between working memory and language: The roles of short-term storage and cognitive control (2011, background): “…of these components are devoted to the maintenance of information over short periods of time (i.e. short-term memory; STM), whereas other components are responsible for cognitive control that regulate and coordinate those maintenance operations (Baddeley, 2000; Cowan, et al., 2005; Engle, 2010).”
Working Memory and Fluid Intelligence in Young Children. (2010, methodology): “The Raven's Matrices tests is one of the most commonly adopted means of testing Gf in both adults (Carpenter, et al., 1990; Conway, et al., 2002; Engle, 2010) and in children (Bayliss, et al., 2003; Swanson, 2008), and loads highly on a general factor in psychometric studies of intelligence…”
Recognizing Complex Cognition through Innovative Technology in Stone Age and Palaeolithic Sites (2013, background): “One complex-span task requires a person to rotate a letter of the alphabet mentally, or to make a decision about a shape’s symmetry on either side of a vertical axis (Engle 2010; Kane et al. 2004).”
