The relation between attention and memory has long been deemed important for understanding cognition, and it was heavily researched even in the first experimental psychology laboratory by Wilhelm Wundt and his colleagues. Since then, the importance of the relation between attention and memory has been explored in myriad subdisciplines of psychology, and we incorporate a wide range of these diverse fields. Here, we examine some of the practical consequences of this relation and summarize work with various methodologies relating attention to memory in the fields of working memory, long-term memory, individual differences, life-span development, typical brain function, and neuropsychological conditions. We point out strengths and unanswered questions for our own embedded processes view of information processing, which is used to organize a large body of evidence. Last, we briefly consider the relation of the evidence to a range of other theoretical views before drawing conclusions about the state of the field.

注意力和记忆力之间的关系

长期以来，注意力和记忆之间的关系一直被认为对于理解认知很重要，甚至在威廉·冯特（Wilhelm Wundt）及其同事的第一个实验心理学实验室中也对其进行了大量研究。从那时起，注意力和记忆之间关系的重要性在心理学的无数分支学科中得到了探索，并且我们广泛地将这些不同的领域纳入其中。在这里，我们研究了这种关系的一些实际后果，并总结了工作记忆、长期记忆、个体差异、寿命发展、典型大脑功能和神经心理条件领域中与记忆有关的各种方法的工作。我们指出了我们自己的信息处理嵌入式流程视图的优势和未解答的问题，该信息处理用于组织大量证据。最后，在得出有关该领域现状的结论之前，我们简要考虑了证据与一系列其他理论观点的关系。
