The Role of Working Memory Resources in Mind Wandering: The Difference Between Working Memory Capacity and Working Memory Load
… resource-demanding view, individuals with high WMC should experience more Task unrelated thought (TUT) in single and dual task conditions compared to those with low WMC. From the resource-free view, individuals with high WMC should experience fewer TUT compared to low WMC individuals. Results …

The Effect of Forewarning on Suggestibility: Does it Depend on Working Memory Capacity?
… the influence of working memory capacity (WMC). The main hypotheses are that forewarnings will reduce suggestibility compared to the control group and that high-WMC will yield lower suggestibility compared to medium- and low-WMC. The final hypothesis is that WMC and forewarning will …

Mindfulness and working memory capacity: two comprehensive meta-analyses examining working memory as a mechanism of mindfulness
… mindfulness works is working memory capacity (WMC). The aim of this project was to examine the potential mechanistic relationship between mindfulness and WMC by conducting two related meta-analyses, one examining the correlation (r) between trait/dispositional mindfulness and WMC, and one …

Individual Differences in Working Memory Capacity Influence Spoken WordRecognition
… differences in working memory capacity (WMC) would influence thelikelihood that listeners will depend on the biasing information when distracted. In fiveexperiments, participants heard sentences that contained an early target word with orwithout noise at its onset and a subsequent word …

Assessing mindfulness as a moderator between trait worry and working memory capacity performance in undergraduates
… will not disrupt worry. Working memory capacity (WMC) has been implicated in the relationship between worry and mindfulness, with some research showing that the combined practice of mindfulness and WMC test exercises had the greatest impact on reducing worry. The present study sought to test the …

Examining the boundary conditions between cognitive control and interference derived from stimulus-based and response-based conflict
… to interference. Working memory capacity (WMC) is a similarly defined construct that shares many overlapping functions with cognitive control. The studies presented used controlled forms of interference to identify limits, or boundary conditions, that could help clarify the relationship …

Attention and executive functioning deficits associated with dimensions of anxiety and depression
… Disorder (GAD), and working memory capacity (WMC). Results revealed that reduced WMC was associated with symptoms of GAD and elevated levels of worry, both cross-sectionally and prospectively. In contrast, WMC was not associated with depression. These findings suggest that reduced WMC may play …

Inhibition, attentional control, and causes of forgetting in working memory: a formal approach
… question: what limits working-memory capacity (WMC)? A question that still remains controversial (Barrouillet & Camos, 2009; Lewandowsky, Oberauer, & Brown, 2009). This study attempted to answer this question by proposing that the dynamics between the causes of forgetting and the processes …

Working Memory Effects on Bilingual Sentence Processing
… group showed effects of working memory capacity (WMC) in the interpretive and post-interpretive stages of processing, providing support for the Single Resource model (Just & Carpenter, 1992). The monolingual English and monolingual Korean low-span groups showed evidence of being more susceptible …

Language and Working Memory Capacity in Early Adulthood: Contributions From First and Second Language Proficiency
… likert scale from "poor" to "excellent". Verbal WMC (as measured by OSPAN) was associated with L2 proficiency. However, the L2 "excellent" group did not differ in their OSPAN from the remaining four groups of L2 proficiency classification. No correlation was found between the two WMC tasks.
