“…This result indicated that although on average participants were able to effectively hold in their WM about two and a half object (which is close to previous estimates; e.g., Chuderski, Taraday, Nęcka, & Smoleń, 2012;Vogel, Woodman, & Luck, 2001), the match between the target stimulus and the overall pattern of stimuli increased the VWM capacity by a quarter of object on average (~10%).…”

“…An even more general theoretical consequence of the research on Gestalt effects in VWM pertains to the crucial role of VWM in abstract thinking and reasoning (e.g., strong correlations between the former and the latter; see Chuderski et al, 2012). If WM is so important for highlevel cognition, and at the same time it is so much related to perceptual mechanisms and representations, then it is likely that substantial part of our high-level, abstract cognition also relies to large extent on such a perceptual "engine" (see Clevenger & Hummel, 2014).…”

The study investigated whether the congruence between the shape of the single target and the shape of the overall pattern of stimuli, as well as the regularity (equal distances among stimuli) of that pattern, could facilitate the maintenance of information in visual working memory (VWM). We observed strong evidence in favor of the congruency effect, and moderately positive evidence for the regularity effect. Both effects were relatively weak, but easily identifiable with the quite large samples we examined. These data support and largely extend the existing evidence showing that Gestalt principles of perceptual organization, which are well known to organize visual perception, influence also the active maintenance and access of information in VWM during the absence of perceptual stimulation.

“…At this point, we need to ask a question about the sense of creating a self-report tool for examining selfcontrol, when psychologists have at their disposal many experimental tasks, such as those used by Miyake and his team (Miyake et al, 2000), as well as by other researchers (e.g., Chuderski, Taraday, Nęcka & Smoleń, 2012). It seems that we can identify four reasons justifying the decision to create a new tool.…”

“…If we could predict the level of personal self-control on the basis of performance of tasks engaging executive functions, the self-control could be tested exclusively at the cognitive level, using an appropriately selected battery of tasks. But the problem is that the relationship between personal self-control and cognitive self-control may be insignificant (see Nęcka et al, 2012). One important meta-analytical study (Duckworth & Kern, 2011) showed that the intercorrelations among various measures of self-control were rather weak, particularly if executive functions tasks are concerned.…”

“…The reliability of the whole questionnaire obtained an alpha value = 0.89. The indicators were satisfactory, therefore this version of the questionnaire was used in the study aimed at determining whether self-reports correspond to objective measures of cognitive control (Nęcka et al, 2012). The answer to this question proved to be negative.…”

This paper presents a validation study of a new questionnaire of self-control as an individual trait. The questionnaire has two parallel versions, one based on self-reports (AS-36) and another one based on informant reports (AS-36-3). Each version consists of three subscales, called Inhibition (12 items), Switching (12 items), and Goal Monitoring (12 items). Eight samples of participants (N = 935 altogether) took part in the validation study. Both versions obtained satisfactory indices of internal consistency, assessed with Cronbach’s alpha and split-half coefficients. Selfcontrol assessed with this scale proved to be entirely independent of general intelligence. However, AS-36 and AS-36-3 scores tended to correlate with other self-report measures of trait self control, such as Tangney, Baumeister, and Boone’s (2004) self-control scale. We conclude that AS-36 is a valid and reliable tool, suitable for assessment of self-control in both research and diagnostic settings.

This study aimed to investigate the relationships between working memory capacity, fluid intelligence (Gf), and work engagement within the framework of the job demands-resources theory. Multioccupational employees (N = 175 in Study 1 and N = 383 in Study 2) completed sets of Gf, complex span, and n-back tests, along with job resources and work engagement surveys. Structural equation modeling with latent variables and bootstrapping procedures revealed that complex span was indirectly positively related to work engagement via job resources, and n-back was indirectly positively related to work engagement via job complexity. Moreover, the one common factor g composed of Gf, n-back, and complex span was positively indirectly related to work engagement via job resources and job complexity. These results highlight that the cognitive capacities of employees should be given greater consideration as cognitive personal resources in models aimed at accounting for employee work engagement. KEYWORDS cognitive abilities, human resources, intelligence, JD-R, job resources, work engagement, working memory To the extent that social scientists embrace cognitive abilities for modeling important human behaviors and outcomes, they will be better positioned to explain and understand-from a scientific point of view-those aspects of life that capture the exigencies, interests, and opportunities in modern cultures.
