Abstract

Three experiments were conducted to examine whether and how executive working memory(WM) can influence the allocation of spatial attention in exogenous and endogenous cuing tasks. All the experiments involved executive WM tasks that required counting backward from a randomly selected three-digit number and spatial cuing tasks in which peripheral cues with or without predictability or central cues were presented. The results showed that when the spatial cue did not predict the location of a target, as in Experiment 1, the executive function of working memory reduced the peripheral cueing effect. However, when the spatial cue could predict the location of a target in Experiment 2, the peripheral cueing effect was not affected by the executive function of working memory. Moreover, in Experiment 3 the manipulation process of working memory did not change the central cueing effect. These results suggested that executive functions of WM such as manipulating information might affect exogenous and endogenous attention process differently.
