Phonological working memory and FOXP2. [PDF]

Neuropsychologia, 2018
The discovery and description of the affected members of the KE family (aKE) initiated research on how genes enable the unique human trait of speech and language. Many aspects of this genetic influence on speech-related cognitive mechanisms are still elusive, e.g.

A resource model of phonological working memory. [PDF]

, 2018
The classic Baddeley and Hitch (1974) model divides working memory into domain-specific subsystems and a shared, do- main-general central executive, which plays a role in allocating resources to items stored in the subsystems. The nature of this resource—in particular, its quantization (discrete vs.

Phonological Working Memory for Words and Nonwords in Cerebral Cortex. [PDF]

J Speech Lang Hear Res, 2017
Purpose The primary purpose of this study was to identify the brain bases of phonological working memory (the short-term maintenance of speech sounds) using behavioral tasks analogous to clinically sensitive assessments of nonword repetition.

Phonological short term-memory, working memory and foreign language performance in intensive language learning. [PDF]

, 2008
In our research we addressed the question what the relationship is between phonological short-term and working memory capacity and performance in an end-of-year reading, writing, listening, speaking and use of English test.

Phonological similarity in working memory [PDF]

Memory & Cognition, 2001
That phonologically similar words in a short-term memory test are more difficult to recall than phonologically dissimilar words is a well-known phenomenon. This effect is the phonological similarity decrement. In the present study, we examined whether this phonological similarity decrement is present when additional semantic information is available ...

Phonological working memory and reading in students with dyslexia. [PDF]

Front Psychol, 2014
To investigate parameters related to fluency, reading comprehension and phonological processing (operational and short-term memory) and identify potential correlation between the variables in Dyslexia and in the absence of reading difficulties.One hundred and fifteen students from the third to eighth grade of elementary school were grouped into a ...

CMIP and ATP2C2 modulate phonological short-term memory in language impairment [PDF]

, 2009
Specific language impairment (SLI) is a common developmental disorder characterized by difficulties in language acquisition despite otherwise normal development and in the absence of any obvious explanatory factors.

Phonological and visual working memory in mental addition [PDF]

Memory & Cognition, 2003
The goal of the present research was to examine the role of working memory in mental arithmetic. Adults (n = 96) solved multidigit arithmetic problems (e.g., 52 + 3; 3 + 52) alone and in combination with either a phonological memory load (i.e., nonwords, such as gup) or a visual memory load (i.e., random pattern of asterisks).

Visual and phonological components of working memory in children [PDF]

Memory & Cognition, 1989
Previous studies have shown that young children's immediate memory for a short series of drawings of objects is mediated by a visual component of working memory, whereas older children rely chiefly upon a phonological component. Three experiments investigated the hypothesis that older children rely also, but to a lesser extent, on visual working memory.

Phonological similarity in working memory span tasks [PDF]

Memory & Cognition, 2016
In a series of four experiments, we explored what conditions are sufficient to produce a phonological similarity facilitation effect in working memory span tasks. By using the same set of memoranda, but differing the secondary-task requirements across experiments, we showed that a phonological similarity facilitation effect is dependent upon the ...
