In this paper,Based on a brief review of the research attention and working memory process and the theoretical model,to study the differences of working memory between the level of the stability of attention.Specifically:How does the different levels of stability of attention affect the visual, auditory working memory span,and which one can be affected easily on visual,auditory working memory.Conclusions of the study support the individual differences on working memory span model of controlled attention and inhibition capacity.Experiment 1 how do the different levels of stability of attention affect visual working memory span. To study if there were differences on the spatial working memory and arithmetic working memory on the different levels of the stability of attention. Experiment 2 how do the different levels of stability of attention affect auditory working memory span.To study if there were differences on the auditory working memory span on the different levels of stability of attention.Discusse the results of the two experiments , then came to conclusion as follows:1 The stability of attention affected the working memory span. There were significant differences on visual working memory span between the group of high stability of attention and the group of low stability of attention.There all were significant differences that is on the task of arithmetic working memory span and spatial working memory span on the group of high stability of attention and the group of low stability of attention.Compare with spatial working memory span ,the arithmetic working memory can better explain the differences of visual working memory span.2 There was significant difference that is on the auditory working memory span on different levels of the stability of attention, the higher the stability of the attention, the more auditory working memory span will be.3 Compare with auditory working memory span,visual working memory span can be affected easily by the stability of attention.
