From extended LTM activation (high capacity) to low cognitive capacity. It all makes sense. Why? Dedicated to the rightfully wrong processes la! Like... Oh... nice processor with high processing power... but... what is your high speed doing exactly? lol 8-X
Conway, Andrew R.A., Cowan, Nelson, & Bunting, Michael F. (2001). The cocktail party phenomenon revisited: The importance of working memory capacity. Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 8(2), 331-335.
"we show that subjects who detect their name in the irrelevant message have relatively low working-memory capacities, suggesting that they have difficulty blocking out, or inhibiting, distracting information."
This is why I have always proposed that we psychotics have to find ways to expand da processing capacity of ours. Having a chunk of WM capacity dedicated to processing of psychotic cognition to begin with, there is surely not much capacity left to perform things like blocking out, or inhibiting, distracting information. Gotta make sure the surplus is not dedicated to psychotic cognition though. How to? A good question.
