Measuring Working Memory Capacity With Automated Complex Span Tasks
Thomas S. Redick,James M. Broadway,Matt E. Meier,Princy S. Kuriakose,Nash Unsworth,Michael J. Kane,Randall W. Engle +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used automated complex span tasks (Operation, Symmetry, and Reading Span) to measure the working memory capacity of young adults with a standardized procedure for adminis- tration and scoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
For Whom the Mind Wanders, and When, Varies Across Laboratory and Daily-Life Settings.
Michael J. Kane,Georgina M. Gross,Charlotte A. Chun,Bridget A. Smeekens,Matt E. Meier,Paul J. Silvia,Thomas R. Kwapil +6 more
TL;DR: Cognitive and personality factors predicted dimensions of everyday thought other than mind wandering, such as subjective judgments of controllability of thought, which suggests mind-wandering theories based solely on lab phenomena may be incomplete.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual Differences In The Executive Control Of Attention, Memory, And Thought, And Their Associations With Schizotypy
Michael J. Kane,Matt E. Meier,Bridget A. Smeekens,Georgina M. Gross,Charlotte A. Chun,Paul J. Silvia,Thomas R. Kwapil +6 more
TL;DR: Whether executive deficits are consequences rather than risk factors for schizophrenia, or executive failures barely precede or precipitate diagnosable schizophrenia symptoms, a large correlational study took a latent-variable approach to the generality of executive control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aging ebbs the flow of thought: Adult age differences in mind wandering, executive control, and self-evaluation
TL;DR: Although older adults consistently reported more TRI and less mind wandering than did younger adults, overall they reported more on-task thoughts, and TRI cannot, therefore, account completely for prior reports of decreasing TUTs with aging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive predictors of a common multitasking ability: Contributions from working memory, attention control, and fluid intelligence.
Thomas S. Redick,Zach Shipstead,Matt E. Meier,Janelle J. Montroy,Kenny L. Hicks,Nash Unsworth,Michael J. Kane,D. Zachary Hambrick,Randall W. Engle +8 more
TL;DR: Correlations, hierarchical regression analyses, confirmatory factor analyses, structural equation models, and relative weight analyses revealed several key findings, including that attention control and capacity fully mediated the WM and multitasking relationship.
