Abstract
⺠Detecting a letter target at fixation improves short-term memory of color arrays. ⺠Contrary to dual-task interference, increasing attention to one task boosts memory. ⺠This boost was observed when the target letter occurred during memory encoding. ⺠The boost was absent when the target letter occurred during maintenance or retrieval. ⺠Detecting goal-relevant events produces an attentional boost effect.
