Dissociation, cognitive failures, and working memory

DANIEL B. WRIGHT AND JESSICA E. OSBORNE

The relationships between two personality measures (dissociation and cognitive failures) and different measures of interference from secondary tasks for working memory are investigated. Although the personality and cognitive measures were correlated with one another, canonical and bivariate correlations revealed no systematic relationships between the personality measures and the working memory measures. The upper bounds of the confidence intervals showed that, at most, only 10% of the variance was shared. We discuss the implications for theories of dissociation and cognitive functioning.
