Article Abstract:

Contemporary models of working memory that target paradigm (TP) and target density (TD) should interact as influences on error rates derived from continuous performance tests (CPTs) is evaluated empirically in a ethnically diverse sample of children. Results reveal that TP and TD interacted as influences on both omission error (OE) and commission error (CE) rates in accord with predictions based on a contemporary model of working memory.
