TLDR
The authors explored the role of information storage in working memory in performing mental arithmetic and showed that interim information is forgotten if it is not utilized immediately, and that forgetting increases as a function of the number of calculation stages intervening between initial presentation and subsequent utilization of information.About:

Individual differences in working memory and reading
TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A theory of reading: From eye fixations to comprehension.
TL;DR: A model of reading comprehension that accounts for the allocation of eye fixations of college students reading scientific passages is presented, embedded in a theoretical framework capable of accommodating the flexibility of reading.

Is working memory capacity task dependent
TL;DR: This article investigated correlations between the complex span and reading comprehension depend on the nature of the secondary task and individual skill in that task, and found that the correlation was a function of the difficulty of the background task.

On Distinguishing Epistemic from Pragmatic Action
David Kirsh,Paul P. Maglio +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that in Tetris-a real-time, interactive video game-certain cognitive and perceptual problems are more quicktv, easily, and reliably solved by performingactions in the world than by performing computational actions in the head atone.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationships among working memory, math anxiety, and performance.
TL;DR: Overall, the results demonstrated that an individual difference variable, math anxiety, affects on-line performance in math-related tasks and that this effect is a transitory disruption of working memory.

Time required for judgements of numerical inequality.
TL;DR: It is conceivable that such judgements are made in the same way as judgements of stimuli varying along physical continua, but numerical judgements may be made at a different, less perceptual and more cognitive, level.
