Working memory capacity and cognitive style interacted in their relationship with anxiety-stability, such that higher memory was associated with a greater increased stability for Wholist-Verbalisers and Analytic-Imagers than for Analytic-Verbalisers and Wholist-Imagers. The results were discussed in terms of the unitary versus complementary nature of style combinations.
