It is demonstrated that individual differences in LTM abilities are represented by various lower order factors based on criterial tasks as well as by a more general higher-order LTM factor.
The Benefits of Retrieval Practice Depend on Item Difficulty and Intelligence

Recommendations to engage in retrieval practice should take into consideration the interactive effects of to-be-learned materials and individual differences in the learners, which suggests that the benefit of retrieval practice varies with item difficulty and participant abilities.
Individual Differences in the Delayed Execution of Prospective Memories
- PsychologyQuarterly journal of experimental psychology

Examination of individual differences in prospective memory between young adults with high versus low working memory capacity when they had to momentarily delay their intentions for either 6 or 42 s suggests that prospective memory performance is generally impaired across all retention intervals in low-W MC individuals, and that high-WMC individuals may be better able to retrieve the intention from long-term memory even when attention is interrupted by intervening activities.
Benefits from retrieval practice are greater for students with lower working memory capacity

Final cued recall performance was better for tested items than for restudied items after both 10 minutes and 2 days, particularly for longer study–test lags.

Retrieval practice is a learning technique that is known to produce enhanced long-term memory retention when compared to several other techniques. This difference in learning outcome is commonly…
The Testing Effect and Its Relation to Working Memory Capacity and Personality Characteristics

Retrieval practice is known to lead to better retention of a to-be-learned material than restudy (i.e., the testing effect). However, few studies have investigated retrieval practice in relation to…

The Forward Testing Effect is Reliable and Independent of Learners’ Working Memory Capacity

The forward testing effect refers to the finding that retrieval practice of previously studied information enhances learning and retention of subsequently studied other information. While most of the…
Individual differences in episodic memory abilities predict successful prospective memory output monitoring
- PsychologyMemory
- 2018
Examination of individual differences in output monitoring abilities in a group of younger adults differing in attention control (AC) and episodic memory (EM) abilities showed that AC ability uniquely predicted successful cue detection on the first presentation, whereas EM ability uniquely predicting successful output monitoring on the second presentation.

It is argued that low-WMC individuals' episodic retrieval deficits are partially due to the fact that these individuals search through a larger set of items than high-W MC individuals.

Initial testing was shown to enhance later recollection but leave familiarity unchanged, and this conclusion emerged from three dependent measures: source memory, exclusion performance, and remember/know judgments.

Findings demonstrate that attentive retrieval is critical for learning through remembering and that dividing attention during retrieval may reduce the power of remembering as an encoding event.

Results indicate a role for attentional processing, perhaps inhibitory in nature, at encoding and retrieval, and are discussed with respect to theories of WM and prefrontal cortex function.

The relations among processing time, processing accuracy, and storage accuracy from the complex span tasks were examined, in combination with their respective relationships with fluid intelligence, and a complicated pattern of unique and shared variance among the constructs is found.

Results indicate that the activation of elaborative information-which would occur to a greater extent during testing than restudying--may be one mechanism that underlies the testing effect.
