Attention and working memory are fundamentally linked as core cognitive processes that facilitate consciousness, as evidenced by their joint role in Global Neuronal Workspace Theory [1], [2], [3] and their shared reliance on the fronto-parietal network [4], [5]. Furthermore, attention acts as a mechanism to select signals for entry into working memory, where they become conscious through global broadcasting [6], [7].

quoteGeorge Mashour and colleagues note that 'GNW models share many features with models for attention and working memory, which also require interactions between neurons in widespread networks.'
quoteAttention selects and amplifies specific signals, allowing them to enter the workspace and become conscious. Consciousness and working memory are intimately related because attended working memory items are conscious and use the global workspace for broadcast.
claimGlobal Workspace Theories propose that consciousness is related to other cognitive processes, specifically attention and working memory, which reflect 'what is on the mind.'
claimGlobal Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT) explains 'conscious access' and how consciousness relates to attention and working memory.

referenceThe dual-aspect-dual-mode framework of consciousness, based on neuroscience, consists of four components: (1) dual-aspect primal entities; (2) neural-Darwinism, which involves the co-evolution and co-development of subjective experiences and associated neural-nets from the mental aspect and the material aspect of fundamental entities, cotuning via sensorimotor interaction; (3) matching and selection processes involving the interaction of the non-tilde mode (cognitive feedback signals) and the tilde mode (feed forward signals from external and internal input); and (4) the necessary ingredients of subjective experiences, such as wakefulness, attention, re-entry, working memory, and stimulus at or above threshold level.
