Theoretical functions indicating the pattern of mean capacities to be expected for a less-advanced and a more-advanced group of participants (Groups 1 and 2) when attention is divided unevenly among items of two different shapes in an array to be retained in working memory. a. Expectation if the groups differ in the ability to filter out items of the not-usually-tested shape and fill working memory with usually-tested items. b. Expectation if the groups differ in the total capacity but not in filtering. c. Expectation if both factors operate together.
