Abstract
Background:Workingmemory(WM)isimperativeforeffectiveselectiveattention.Distractibilityisgreaterunderconditions
ofhigh(vs.low)concurrentworkingmemoryload(WML),andinindividualswithlow(vs.high)workingmemorycapacity
(WMC).Inthecurrentexperiments,werecordedtheflankertaskperformanceofindividualswithhighandlowWMCduring
lowandhighWML,toinvestigatethecombinedeffectofWMLandWMConselectiveattention.
Methodology/PrincipalFindings:InExperiment1,distractibilityfromadistractoratafixeddistancefromthetargetwas
greaterwheneitherWMLwashighorWMCwaslow,butsurprisinglysmallerwhenbothWMLwashighandWMClow.Thus
we observed an inverted-U relationship between reductions in WM resources and distractibility. In Experiment 2, we
mapped the distribution of spatial attention as a function of WMC and WML, by recording distractibility across several
target-to-distractordistances.Thepatternofdistractoreffectsacrossthetarget-to-distractordistancesdemonstratedthat
thedistributionoftheattentionalwindowbecomesdispersedasWMresourcesarelimited.Theattentionalwindowwas

effectsinExperiment1,replicatedinExperiment2,canthusbeexplainedbydifferencesinthespreadoftheattentional
windowasafunctionofWMresourceavailability.
Conclusions/Significance: The current findings show that limitations in WM resources, due to either WML or individual
differencesinWMC,affectthespatialdistributionofattention.Thedifferenceinattentionalconstrainingbetweenhighand
low WMC individuals demonstrated in the current experiments helps characterise the nature of previously established
associationsbetweenWMCandcontrolledattention.
