Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of WMC in following spoken and written instructions, through verbal and action recall based on the total correct recall. Fifty-one (51) participants were involved in this experiment. Twenty-five (25) participants were classified into the high working memory capacity (WMC) group, and n=26 under the low WMC group based on the score of the verbal and visuospatial working memory tasks. The spoken instructions required the participant to perform verbal and action recall, and the same goes for the written instructions. The findings of the study revealed that there are significant effects of the WMC, types of instructions, and types of recall on the total correct recall. This study contributes additional findings related to the WMC and following instructions in the local context, methodology, and body of knowledge in the field of cognitive psychology.en-USWorking memory capacity; following instructions; verbal instructions; spoken instructionstext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper5658
