There is broad agreement that working memory is closely related to attention. This article
delineates several theoretical options for conceptualizing this link, and evaluates their …

Alpha oscillations are often reported to be amplified during working memory (WM) retention,
serving to disengage sensory areas to protect internal representations from external …

We investigated whether standardized neuropsychological tests and experimental cognitive
paradigms measure the same cognitive faculties. Specifically, do neuropsychological tests …

Brain areas that control gaze are also recruited for covert shifts of spatial attention,,,,,,,–. In
the external space of perception, there is a natural ecological link between the control of …

An emerging view suggests that spatial position is an integral component of working
memory (WM), such that non-spatial features are bound to locations regardless of whether …

It is well established that holding information in working memory (WM) elicits sustained
stimulus-specific patterns of neural activity. Nevertheless, here we provide evidence for a …

A rigorous analysis of current empirical and theoretical work supporting the argument that
consciousness and attention are largely dissociated. In this book, Carlos Montemayor and …

Perception is shaped by actions, which determine the allocation of selective attention across
the visual field. Here, we review evidence that maintenance in visual working memory is …

People preferentially attend to external stimuli that are related to themselves compared with
others. Whether a similar self-reference bias applies to internal representations, such as …

Besides controlling eye movements, the brain's oculomotor system has been implicated in
the control of covert spatial attention and the rehearsal of spatial information in working …
