Global Workspace Theory is fundamentally linked to working memory as it posits that consciousness arises from the integration of cognitive processes like attention and working memory [1], [2]. The theory suggests that the global workspace corresponds to events within working memory [3] and serves as a mechanism for top-down control over working memory functions [4], despite differences in the temporal duration of the memory involved [5].
