  • These data demonstrate that HMMs are not only less capable of filtering out irrelevant stimuli from their environment, but also are less capable of filtering out irrelevant representations in memory.
  • Collectively, the data suggest that HMMs are less likely to filter irrelevant representations arising from either external or internal sources.
  • Thus, we can rule out differences in working memory capacity between HMMs and LMMs as the cause of differences in cognitive control.
