“…However the results also point to differences between working memory and selective attention processes, as revealed by slightly different patterns of results in various participants groups: on the one hand, musicians exhibit greatly enhanced working memory abilities for musical sequences but only limited advantages if any for selective attention compared to non-musicians (Blain, Talamini, et al, 2022), and on the other hand, participants with high dream recall frequency are more sensitive to the presence of difficult-to-filter-out distractors than participants with a low dream recall frequency, whereas the impact of the memory task difficulty manipulation was similar is these two participant groups (Blain, de la Chapelle, et al, 2022). These between-groups differences reveal that attention and working memory are differently sensitive to expertise effects (for the effect of musical expertise on auditory working memory see for example George & Coch, 2011;Talamini et al, 2016Talamini et al, , 2017Talamini et al, , 2022 and psychophysiological traits (for the effect of such traits on auditory attention, see Ruby et al, 2013;Eichenlaub, Bertrand, et al, 2014;Eichenlaub, Nicolas, et al, 2014;Vallat et al, 2020Vallat et al, , 2022Ruby et al, 2022). Overall, behavioral results obtained so far with the MEMAT paradigm revealed both shared and separated processes subtending auditory selective attention and working memory.…”
