Abstract
Previous research has supported the fact that inhibition of irrelevant information plays a role not only in discourse but also in reasoning, suggesting that inhibition processes may be important to efficient cognitive functioning on a wide variety of intellectual tasks. The current review focused on several key issues surrounding attention, working memory and intelligence. First, previous research on attention and intelligence was examined. Next working memory (Baddeley, 1986; 1990) and its relationship with reasoning ability was discussed. Finally, negative priming was proposed as a mechanism that regulates working memory capacity.
