TLDR
In this paper, three experiments were performed to determine the relationship between certain variables influencing proactive inhibition in long-term retention of lists of verbal items and the influence of these variables on short-term recall of single items.About:

Human memory ; A proposed system and its control processes
TL;DR: This chapter presents a general theoretical framework of human memory and describes the results of a number of experiments designed to test specific models that can be derived from the overall theory.

Working Memory Capacity as Executive Attention
TL;DR: This article showed that individual differences in working memory capacity are reflected in performance on antisaccade, Stroop, and dichotic listening tasks, and that WM capacity, or executive attention, is most important under conditions in which interference leads to retrieval of response tendencies that conflict with the current task.

Evolving conceptions of memory storage, selective attention, and their mutual constraints within the human information-processing system.
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to formulate a revised model of information processing that takes into account recent research on memory storage, selective attention, effortful versus automatic processing, and the mutual constraints that these areas place on one another.
Journal ArticleDOI
What memory is for.
TL;DR: Practical work in cognitive science and empirical work in memory and language comprehension are reviewed that suggest that it may be possible to investigate connections between topics as disparate as infantile amnesia and mental-model theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Controlled-Attention View of Working-Memory Capacity
TL;DR: The findings support a controlled-attention view of WM capacity, in which low-span participants performed poorly when task switching from antisaccade to prosaccade blocks, and in which a target appeared opposite the cued location.

Interference and forgetting.
TL;DR: There is a general agreement that interference among tasks must produce a sizable proportion of forgetting and that most forgetting must be a function of the learning of tasks which interfere with that which has already been learned.
