Abstract: Context sensitivity refers to the ability to identify cues regarding the nature of stressor situations. This skill is a necessary precursor to successful emotion regulation and may involve detecting the presence or absence of stressor cues. Previous research has suggested that context sensitivity relies in part on working memory (WM), one component of cognitive control or executive functioning. We explored this potential relationship in an empirical study (N = 112) that assessed WM via WAIS-IV Digit Span as well as the ability to detect the presence or absence of stressor cues via the Context Sensitivity Index. Results demonstrated that detection of both cue presence and absence were significantly associated with the ability to apply semantic knowledge to information held in WM. Our findings expand upon a potential cognitive mechanism for context sensitivity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
