The article by Kane, Bleckley, Conway, and Engle (2001) examines the relationship between individual differences in working memory (WM) capacity and attentional control. Through two experiments, the authors investigate whether high- and low-WM-span participants differ in their performance on tasks that require attentional control. Experiment 1 uses a prosaccade task and an antisaccade task, while Experiment 2 measures eye movements during a long antisaccade session. The findings suggest that low-span participants perform poorly in the antisaccade task, indicating differences in attentional control, whereas they perform equivalently in the prosaccade task. In Experiment 2, low-span participants show slower and more erroneous saccades compared to high-span participants, and they struggle when switching from antisaccade to prosaccade tasks. These results support the controlled-attention view of WM capacity, suggesting that WM capacity is related to the ability to maintain information and resist interference, particularly in the face of attentional demands.The article by Kane, Bleckley, Conway, and Engle (2001) examines the relationship between individual differences in working memory (WM) capacity and attentional control.
