Anyway, I'd say that how you deal with pressure is more correlated to how well you understand the situation, rather than short term memory like the article says.

I too think that the study doesn't make sense. If you have a person with "high working-memory capacity" and a person with "low working-memory capacity" and they both have stressful thoughts that occupy some memory space, then the "high working-memory capacity" person still has more memory space than the "low working-memory capacity" person.
I suppose it might make sense if high people actually experience more stress than low people, but the article doesn't make that claim.
As a functioning stupid person I must say that I experience a lot of stress in unfamilliar situations so I don't know if such a claim is accurate.
