, , University of Santiago de Compostela, Santiago de Compostela, Spain
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 31:248-61. 2005..There was also no evidence for priming effects between consecutive trials.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 106:6011-6. 2009..These findings suggest that positive affect, generated by preferred music, can decrease visual neglect by increasing attentional resources. We discuss the possible roles of arousal and mood in generating these effects... - Automatic selection of irrelevant object features through working memory: evidence for top-down attentional captureDavid Soto
Division of Neuroscience and Mental Health, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, London W6 8RP, UK

Imperial College London, Faculty of Medicine, Division of Neuroscience and Mental Health, Charing Cross Campus, St Dunstan s Road, London, W6 8RP, UK
Trends Cogn Sci 12:342-8. 2008..We discuss the importance of 'top-down' influences from working memory on the 'early' deployment of attention and on the processes that gate visual information into awareness... - Stressing the mind: the effect of cognitive load and articulatory suppression on attentional guidance from working memoryDavid Soto
Division of Neuroscience and Mental Health, Imperial College London, London, England
Percept Psychophys 70:924-34. 2008..The degree of competition for resources in WM is a key factor in determining the time course and magnitude of the interaction between WM and visual selection... - Visuospatial sequence learning without seeingClive R Rosenthal

Centre for Neuroscience, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom
PLoS ONE 5:e11739. 2010..Emotional states linked to arousal and mood are known to affect the efficiency of cognitive performance.

Behavioural Brain Sciences Centre, School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 33:730-7. 2007..However, the effects were absent when primes were only attended. The data suggest that there is automatic encoding into WM when items are verbalized and that verbal as well as visual WM can guide visual attention... - Working memory can guide pop-out searchDavid Soto

Vision Res 46:1010-8. 2006..Despite this, the prime in WM affected responses latencies and the direction of the first saccade.
