Individual differences in working memory and reading
TLDR
The reading span, the number of final words recalled, varied from two to five for 20 college students and was correlated with three reading comprehension measures, including verbal SAT and tests involving fact retrieval and pronominal reference.About:

Modeling individual differences in working memory performance: a source activation account
TL;DR: A computational model is proposed that accounts for differences inWorking memory capacity in terms of a quantity called source activation, which is used to maintain goal-relevant information in an available state and strengthens the interpretation of source activation as working memory capacity.

The Role of Executive Functions in Reading Comprehension.
TL;DR: This article studied the extent to which, and under what conditions, executive functions (EFs) play a role in reading comprehension processes and concluded that EFs may help explain complex interactions between the reader, the text, and the discourse situation.

Neurocognitive functioning in patients with first-episode schizophrenia
Margot Albus,W. Hubmann,F. Mohr,S. Hecht,Petra Hinterberger-Weber,Nichi-Niels Seitz,Helmut Küchenhoff +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that NP impairment is already present at the onset of the illness and remains stable over the early course of schizophrenia.

On the division of working memory and long-term memory and their relation to intelligence: A latent variable approach.
TL;DR: It was found that the common variance from the three memory factors could be accounted for by a higher-order memory factor which was strongly related to gF, but less so with gC.

The magical number seven, plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information
TL;DR: The theory of information as discussed by the authors provides a yardstick for calibrating our stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of our subjects and provides a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.

The magical number seven plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information
TL;DR: The theory provides us with a yardstick for calibrating the authors' stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of their subjects, and the concepts and measures provided by the theory provide a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.

A spreading-activation theory of semantic processing
TL;DR: The present paper shows how the extended theory can account for results of several production experiments by Loftus, Juola and Atkinson's multiple-category experiment, Conrad's sentence-verification experiments, and several categorization experiments on the effect of semantic relatedness and typicality by Holyoak and Glass, Rips, Shoben, and Smith, and Rosch.

Controlled and automatic human information processing: II. Perceptual learning, automatic attending and a general theory.
TL;DR: Tested the 2-process theory of detection, search, and attention presented by the current authors (1977) in a series of experiments and demonstrated the qualitative difference between 2 modes of information processing: automatic detection and controlled search.

Toward a model of text comprehension and production.
Walter Kintsch,Teun A. van Dijk +1 more
TL;DR: The semantic structure of texts can be described both at the local microlevel and at a more global macrolevel, and a model for text comprehension based on this notion accounts for the formation of a coherent semantic text base in terms of a cyclical process constrained by limitations of working memory.
