Verbal Reasoning and Working Memory
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1976A series of experiments was carried out to explore the hypothesis that a central working memory (WM) system is utilized during verbal reasoning. WM was provisionally defined in terms of two major features of short-term memory (STM): its limited storage capacity and its use of speech-coded information.

The Effect of Rehearsal Rate and Memory Load on Verbal Working Memory [PDF]
NeuroImage, 2015 While many neuroimaging studies have investigated verbal working memory (WM) by manipulating memory load, the subvocal rehearsal rate at these various memory loads has generally been left uncontrolled. Therefore, the goal of this study was to investigate how mnemonic load and the rate of subvocal rehearsal modulate patterns of activity in the core ...

Working Memory and Verbal Fluency in Simultaneous Interpreters
Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 2012We investigated working memory and verbal fluency in simultaneous interpreters, expecting to find enhanced working memory and semantic processing in interpreters relative to others fluent in a second language. The interpreters (n = 15) outperformed the control group (n = 35) on semantic fluency and most measures of working memory; their advantage over ...

Working Memory and Perseveration in Verbal Fluency.
Neuropsychology, 2004Letter and semantic fluency tasks are often used in neuropsychological assessment and are sensitive to many conditions. Performance is assessed by correct responses and errors, including perseverations. Healthy young adults performed letter and semantic fluency tasks.

The neural correlates of the verbal component of working memory
Nature, 1993By repeating words 'in our head', verbal material (such as telephone numbers) can be kept in working memory almost indefinitely. This 'articulatory loop' includes a subvocal rehearsal system and a phonological store. Little is known about neural correlates of this model of verbal short-term memory. We therefore measured regional cerebral blood flow, an

Working memory refers to the temporary retention of information that has just arrived to the senses or has been retrieved from long-term memory. While internal representations of external stimuli have a natural tendency to decay over time or with interference, they can be kept “in mind” through the action of memory rehearsal strategies, and can be ...

Electrophysiological correlates of verbal and tonal working memory
Brain Research, 2012The present study's basic research question concerns differences in the processing of verbal and tonal stimuli in working memory. Participants had to rehearse sequences containing tonal and verbal information and to decide whether a subsequently presented probe stimulus belonged to the previously presented sequence.

Evidence against decay in verbal working memory.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2013The article tests the assumption that forgetting in working memory for verbal materials is caused by time-based decay, using the complex-span paradigm. Participants encoded 6 letters for serial recall; each letter was preceded and followed by a processing period comprising 4 trials of difficult visual search.

Verbal Working Memory Deficit in Parkinson’s Disease Subjects
European Neurology, 1999The aim of the present work was to evaluate verbal working memory in patients affected by Parkinson’s disease (PD). In particular, tests that explore the functionality of the Articulatory Loop and of the Central Executive during verbal tasks were given.

Input to Verbal Working Memory
Experimental Psychology, 2004Abstract. Working memory uses central sound representations as an informational basis. The central sound representation is the temporally and feature-integrated mental representation that corresponds to phenomenal perception. It is used in (higher-order) mental operations and stored in long-term memory.
