Chapter Six - How Working Memory Capacity Affects Problem Solving (2012, background): “However, measures of WMC still seem to predict RPM even once retrieval from secondary memory is accounted for (Unsworth & Spillers, 2010).”
The mechanisms of working memory capacity: Primary memory, secondary memory, and attention control (2014, methodology): “The Stroop ( 1935 ) task was based on the task used by Unsworth and Spillers ( 2010 ) .”
Variation in Cognitive Failures: An Individual Differences Investigation of Everyday Attention and Memory Failures. (2012, background): “…retrospective memory in terms of both encoding and retrieval operations such that individuals high in WMC are better able to encode information and better able to deal with interference at retrieval than individuals low in WMC (e.g., Unsworth, Brewer, & Spillers, 2009; Unsworth & Spillers, 2010).”
Measuring Risk Literacy: The Berlin Numeracy Test (2012, background): “Research shows that elaborative encoding causes information in working memory to be stored in long-term memory, thereby freeing-up additional resources and functionally increasing information processing capacity (Cokely, Kelley, & Gilchrist, 2006; Unsworth & Spillers, 2010).”
Educating the Developing Mind: Towards an Overarching Paradigm (2011, background): “In psychometric studies, representational capacity always emerges as a separate block of factors (Demetriou et al. 1993, 2002, 2005, 2008; Engel de Abreu et al. 2010; Hornung et al. 2011; Unsworth and Spillers 2010).”
Storage capacity explains fluid intelligence but executive control does not (2012, background): “…influence of variables regarding control and capacity on Gf (e.g., Buehner, Krumm, Ziegler, & Pluecken, 2006; Colom et al., 2008; Cowan et al., 2006; Miyake, Friedman, Rettinger, Shah, & Hegarty, 2001; Oberauer et al., 2008; Schweizer et al., 2005; Süß et al., 2002; Unsworth & Spillers, 2010).”
Individual differences in the effects of retrieval from long-term memory (2012, background): “Both AC and EM processes underlie the relation between WMC and generalfluid intelligence (gF; Unsworth & Spillers, 2010).”
Measuring Working Memory Capacity With Automated Complex Span Tasks (2012, neutral): “…Engle (2005) 252 .38 Unsworth, Brewer, & Spillers (2009) 173 .26 Unsworth, Redick et al. (2009) 138 .51 Unsworth, Spillers, & Brewer (2009) 155 .23 Unsworth & Spillers (2010) 181 .20 Unsworth (2010b) 165 .32 .09 Unsworth (2010a) 161 .12 Unsworth & Brewer (2010) 177 .12 Unsworth, Spillers, &…”
What is working memory capacity, and how can we measure it? (2013, result): “This prediction has been confirmed by several correlational studies (Unsworth et al., 2009; Unsworth, 2010; Unsworth and Spillers, 2010).”
There is no coherent evidence for a bilingual advantage in executive processing. (2013, neutral): “In contrast to all of the above comparisons involving the Simon, flanker, or Stroop tasks; Unsworth and Spillers (2010) in a study using college students do report a significant correlation (r = +0.17, p < .05) between a flanker and Stroop task.”
