The Relationship Between Attentional Control And Effect Of Focus On Verbal Working Memory

Reading span test score (RST) is a measure of the important indicators of working memory capacity. In previous studies emphasized the RST and reading comprehension and other higher cognitive activities related to the current study compared with the relatively low interest RST the connection between attention tasks.In this study focus mainly on the words and target words in sentences RST inconsistent words and target words focus on the location of RST relations invasion of performance and error to determine the focus of working memory is converted in the dual task. The results showed that 1, the focus with the RST and RST non-focus Stroop test correlation coefficients are very low. 2, the focus position of words and target words between the main effect of the independent variables significantly different, we can see that working memory is indeed the focus of attention switching between the two tasks. 3, and the independent variables on the different working memory span were different. Low working memory capacity was tested in two conditions, significant differences, the focus word in the situation before the target word, there has been more focus on the target word intrusion errors, and the memories are even worse. And high working memory capacity was tested in both conditions, the difference was not significant. High working memory capacity subjects may have more attention resources.
