claimResearch showing evidence for the broad and narrow focus of attention has used a wide range of paradigms, but mainly digits as stimuli (such as arithmetic updating task; e.g., Oberauer and Hein).

claimIn general, it has been shown that lexical LTM associations facilitate the WM recall process (Hulme et al.); specifically, the more strongly items are associated in LTM (e.g., more frequently associated), the more recall performance will benefit.

claimOn the other hand, studies on WM updating (see Artuso and Palladino) demonstrated the opposite result: Strong sub-lexical associations from LTM are dismantled and updated with greater difficulty (i.e., they require longer RTs).
