Resumo: It is broadly agreed that working memory and attention constitute two significant cognitive skills that are closely related. Their relationship has been proved to be intertwined and has attracted intense research interest. It is worth noting that, due to the growth of cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging studies, there have been many fruitful steps towards further interpreting this link between working memory and attention. In this article, there has been an attempt to explore the concept of working memory and attention and delineate several theoretical options for conceptualizing their relationship. Furthermore, in this article, many neuroscientific aspects of working memory, attention, and their relationship are presented to inform the readers about these concepts and motivate them to deepen their understanding of working memory and attention. Simultaneously, the present article highlights the importance of working memory, attention, and their relationship for the individuals’ proper cognitive function and, generally, their function and attitude in daily life.

Se ha demostrado que su relación está entrelazada y ha atraído un intenso interés en la investigación. Vale la pena señalar que, debido al crecimiento de la neurociencia cognitiva y los estudios de neuroimagen, se han dado muchos pasos fructíferos para seguir interpretando este vínculo entre la memoria de trabajo y la atención. En este artículo, se ha intentado explorar el concepto de memoria de trabajo y atención y delinear varias opciones teóricas para conceptualizar su relación. Además, en este artículo, se presentan muchos aspectos neurocientíficos de la memoria de trabajo, la atención y su relación para informar a los lectores sobre estos conceptos y motivarlos a profundizar su comprensión de la memoria de trabajo y la atención. Simultáneamente, el presente artículo destaca la importancia de la memoria de trabajo, la atención y su relación para el correcto funcionamiento cognitivo de los individuos y, en general, su función y actitud en la vida diaria.É amplamente aceito que a memória de trabalho e a atenção constituem duas habilidades cognitivas significativas que estão intimamente relacionadas. O relacionamento deles tem se mostrado entrelaçado e atraiu intenso interesse de pesquisa. É importante notar que, devido ao crescimento da neurociência cognitiva e dos estudos de neuroimagem, tem havido muitos passos frutíferos no sentido de interpretar melhor essa ligação entre memória de trabalho e atenção. Neste artigo, buscou-se explorar o conceito de memória de trabalho e atenção e delinear várias opções teóricas para conceituar suas relações. Além disso, neste artigo, muitos aspectos neurocientíficos da memória de trabalho, atenção e sua relação são apresentados para informar os leitores sobre esses conceitos e motivá-los a aprofundar sua compreensão da memória de trabalho e atenção. Simultaneamente, o presente artigo destaca a importância da memória de trabalho, atenção e sua relação para a função cognitiva adequada dos indivíduos e, geralmente, sua função e atitude na vida diária.Research, Society and Development2021-05-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1528810.33448/rsd-v10i5.15288Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 5; e46410515288Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 5; e46410515288Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 5; e464105152882525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/15288/13599Copyright (c) 2021 Effrosyni Angelopoulou; Athanasios Drigashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAngelopoulou, EffrosyniDrigas, Athanasios2021-05-17T18:20:49Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/15288Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:36:08.995177Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
