Process overlap theory: A unified account of the general factor of intelligence
The most replicated result in the field of intelligence is the positive manifold, which refers to

Feature-based memory-driven attentional capture: visual working memory content affects visual attention.
In 7 experiments, the authors explored whether visual attention (the ability to select relevant
visual information) and visual working memory (the ability to retain relevant visual …

Variation in working memory capacity as variation in executive attention and control
If, as many psychologists seem to believe, immediate memory represents a distinct system
