Getting to the “COR” Understanding the Role of Resources in Conservation of Resources Theory
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the conservation of resources (COR) theory is presented, highlighting gaps in the COR literature that can be addressed by integrating research from other areas of psychology and management.

Major Depressive Disorder Is Associated With Broad Impairments on Neuropsychological Measures of Executive Function: A Meta-Analysis and Review
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that major depressive disorder is reliably associated with impaired performance on neuropsychological measures of EF, and the results are consistent with the theory that MDD is associated with broad impairment in multiple aspects of EF.

Mathematics Anxiety, Working Memory, and Mathematics Performance in Secondary-School Children.
TL;DR: Analysis of academic achievement and cognitive profiles of students with high math anxiety and low math anxiety showed that HMA students were weak in several measures of mathematics achievement, but not in reading and writing skills, and that students with HMA reported lower scores on short-term memory and WM performances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advancing understanding of executive function impairments and psychopathology: bridging the gap between clinical and cognitive approaches.
TL;DR: This work reviews the current state of knowledge of EF impairments associated with psychopathology and limitations to the previous research in light of recent advances in understanding and measuring EF and offers concrete suggestions for improving EF assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anxiety and working memory capacity: A meta-analysis and narrative review.
TL;DR: A narrative review of the literature revealed that anxiety, whether self-reported or experimentally induced, is related to poorer performance across a wide variety of tasks and identified a number of methodological limitations common in the literature as well as avenues for future research.

Correlates, Causes, Effects, and Treatment of Test Anxiety:
TL;DR: In this article, results of 562 studies were integrated by meta-analysis to show the nature, effects, and treatment of academic test anxiety, and effect sizes were computed through the method invented by Glass (Glass, McGaw, & Smith, 1981).
Journal ArticleDOI
Trait anxiety and impoverished prefrontal control of attention.
TL;DR: Findings indicate that trait anxiety is linked to impoverished recruitment of prefrontal attentional control mechanisms to inhibit distractor processing even when threat-related stimuli are absent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroimaging studies of shifting attention: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies of attention shifting and executive processes in working memory suggests that there is a common set of brain regions active in diverse executive control operations, however, within several of these regions, different types of switching produced spatially discriminable activation foci.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anxiety, Processing Efficiency, and Cognitive Performance New Developments from Attentional Control Theory
TL;DR: The attentional control theory as discussed by the authors assumes that anxiety impairs processing efficiency more than perfor- mance effectiveness, and that anxiety also impairs the efficiency of the central executive component of the working memory system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anxiety, learning, and memory: A reconceptualization
TL;DR: In this article, a new theoretical framework for work on anxiety and memory is proposed, and it follows from these theoretical assumptions that anxiety will have differential effects on performance efficiency and on processing effectiveness.
