On verbal memory span in Chinese speakers: Evidence for employment of an articulation-resistant phonological component
A striking feature of speakers of Chinese is the fact that their immediate verbal memory span tends to be substantially greater than is found for other languages. This is not limited to digits, nor is it is it adequately accounted for in terms of spoken duration. We explore two sources of this potential linguistic advantage, one is in terms of supplementary visual coding. We use the visual similarity effect to assess this hypothesis finding littl…
Is the study of memory unduly preoccupied with its sins
A broad functional approach is taken to the analysis of human memory. The overall importance of episodic memory, the capacity to remember specific events, is illustrated by the devastating effect that loss of this aspect of memory has on the capacity to cope in the case of densely amnesic patients. Recent applied research has however focussed heavily on factors compromising the reliability of eyewitness testimony in the forensic field and on the …

The limits of visual working memory in children: Exploring prioritization and recency effects with sequential presentation
Recent research has demonstrated that, when instructed to prioritize a serial position in visual working memory (WM), adults are able to boost performance for this selected item, at a cost to nonprioritized items (e.g., Hu, Hitch, Baddeley, Zhang, & Allen, 2014). While executive control appears to play an important role in this ability, the increased likelihood of recalling the most recently presented item (i.e., the recency effect) is relatively…
Modularity, working memory and language acquisition
The concept of modularity is used to contrast the approach to working memory proposed by Truscott with the Baddeley and Hitch multicomponent model. This proposes four sub components comprising the central executive, an executive control system of limited attentional capacity that utilises storage based on separate but interlinked temporary storage subsystems. One, the phonological loop, is concerned with the temporary storage of verbal materials …

Memory for serial order across domains: An overview of the literature and directions for future research
From vocabulary learning to imitating sequences of motor actions, the ability to plan, represent, and recall a novel sequence of items in the correct order is fundamental for many verbal and nonverbal higher level cognitive activities. Here we review phenomena of serial order documented across the verbal, visual, and spatial short-term memory domains and interpret them with reference to the principles of serial order and ancillary assumptions ins…
Executive functions and self-regulation
Working Memory, Thought, and Action.
This follow-up to 'Working Memory' has two aims - to discuss the developments that have occurred within the multicomponent model since the publication of 'Working Memory', and secondly, to place the concept of multicomponent working in a broader context.
Mapping the Developmental Constraints on Working Memory Span Performance
This study investigated the constraints underlying developmental improvements in complex working memory span performance among 120 children of between 6 and 10 years of age. Independent measures of processing efficiency, storage capacity, rehearsal speed, and basic speed of processing were assessed to determine their contribution to age-related variance in complex span. Results showed that developmental improvements in complex span were driven by…
Can reading accuracy and comprehension be separated in the Neale Analysis of Reading Ability
Background: The Neale Analysis of Reading Ability (NARA) (Neale, 1997) is widely used in education and research. It provides measures of reading accuracy (decoding) and comprehension, which are frequently interpreted separately.Aims: Three studies were conducted to investigate the degree to which the NARA measures could be separated.Samples: British 7- and 8-year-olds participated in Study 1 (N=114) and Study 2 (N=212). In Study 3, 16 skilled and…
The handbook of memory disorders
Is working memory still working
The current state of A. D. Baddeley and G. J. Hitch's (1974) multicomponent working memory model is reviewed. The phonological and visuospatial subsystems have been extensively investigated, leading both to challenges over interpretation of individual phenomena and to more detailed attempts to model the processes underlying the subsystems. Analysis of the controlling central executive has proved more challenging, leading to a proposed clarificati…

Working Memory: The Multiple-Component Model
FIVE CENTRAL FEATURES OF THE MODEL (1) According to our view, working memory comprises multiple specialized components of cognition that allow humans to comprehend and mentally represent their immediate environment, to retain information about their immediate past experience, to support the acquisition of new knowledge, to solve problems, and to formulate, relate, and act on current goals. (2) These specialized components include both a superviso…
Essentials of human memory
This text combines coverage of the fundamental issues of human memory, based on laboratory research, with illustrations from studies in the real world and in the neuropsychological clinic
Developments in the concept of working memory.
The authors summarize developments in the concept of working memory as a multicomponent system, beginning by contrasting this approach with alternative uses of the term working memory. According to a 3-component model, working memory comprises a phonological loop for manipulating and storing speech-based information and a visuospatial sketchpad that performs a similar function for visual and spatial information. Both are supervised by a central e…
The children's test of nonword repetition: A test of phonological working memory
This article presents findings from the Children's Test of Nonword Repetition (CNRep). Normative data based on its administration to over 600 children aged between four and nine years are reported. Close developmental links are established between CNRep scores and vocabulary, reading, and comprehensive skills in children during the early school years. The links between nonword repetition and language skills are shown to be consistently higher and…
Phonological memory and vocabulary development during the early school years: A longitudinal study
The nature of the developmental association between phonological memory and vocabulary knowledge was explored in a longitudinal study. At each of 4 waves (at ages 4, 5, 6, and 8 yrs), measures of vocabulary, phonological memory, nonverbal intelligence, and reading were taken from 80 children. Comparisons of cross-lagged partial correlations revealed a significant shift in the causal underpinnings of the relationship between phonological memory an…

The role of phonological memory in vocabulary acquisition: A study of young children learning new names
Correlational studies have suggested that immediate phonological memory, as measured by the capacity to repeat back non-words varying in length, is associated with level of vocabulary in young children. The present study explores the possibility of a causal relationship between phonological memory and vocabulary acquisition by testing the abilities of children high and low in repetition performance to learn labels for unfamiliar toy animals. The …

Differentiating phonological memory and awareness of rhyme: Reading and vocabulary development in children
A study of 4-and 5-year-old children investigated whether measures of phonological memory and rhyme awareness reflect a common phonological processing skill or differentiable phonological abilities. Tests of phonological memory, rhyme oddity detection, reading, vocabulary and non-verbal intelligence were given to the children in each age group. Factor analyses performed on the measures showed that phonological memory and rhyme awareness measures …
