Direct linkMcVay, Jennifer C.; Kane, Michael J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
A combined experimental, individual-differences, and thought-sampling study tested the predictions of executive attention (e.g., Engle & Kane, 2004) and coordinative binding (e.g., Oberauer, Suss, Wilhelm, & Sander, 2007) theories of working memory capacity (WMC). We assessed 288 subjects' WMC and their performance and mind-wandering rates…

Kane, Michael J.; Poole, Bradley J.; Tuholski, Stephen W.; Engle, Randall W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
The executive attention theory of working memory capacity (WMC) proposes that measures of WMC broadly predict higher order cognitive abilities because they tap important and general attention capabilities (R. W. Engle & M. J. Kane, 2004). Previous research demonstrated WMC-related differences in attention tasks that required restraint of habitual…
