Spatial attention is controlled by external event, which is called exogenous attention, or internally by one's own intention, which is called endogenous attention. Recent neuroimaging studies on working memory have shown that attentional control, especially its voluntary control is performed by the dorsolateral frontal lobe, which works as an executive controller of working memory. In this research project, the relationship between spatial attention and the working memory capacity was explored. For this purpose, spatial working memory task was to assess working memory capacity because spatial attention is based on the capacity of directing attention to a spatially localized area of the visual field. It was hypothesized that spatial working memory was related to the endogenous, but not to the exogenous control of attention. However, the obtained results showed that the participants high in the spatial working memory were lower in the attentional gain (i.e., difference between valid and invalid RTs) relative to those who were lower in their spatial working memory. This was interpreted to be due to the fact that those who were high in spatial working memory were flexible in their control of endogenous attention.

空间注意力受外部事件的控制，外部事件被称为外源性注意，或者内部受到自己的意图，这被称为内源性注意力。关于工作记忆的最新神经影像学研究表明，注意力控制，尤其是其自愿控制由背外侧额叶进行，后者是工作记忆的执行控制者。在该研究项目中，探索了空间注意力与工作记忆能力之间的关系。为此，空间工作记忆任务是评估工作记忆能力，因为空间注意力基于将注意力引导到视野的空间局部区域的能力。假设空间工作记忆与内源性相关，但与对注意力的外在控制无关。但是，获得的结果表明，相对于在空间工作记忆中较低的人，注意力增益的参与者的注意力增加（即有效RT和无效的RT之间的差异）的参与者较低。这被解释为这是因为那些在空间工作记忆中较高的人在控制内源性注意力方面具有灵活性。
