Visuo-spatial Working Memory

on the relationship between linguistic, visual-spatial, interpersonal intelligences and technical translation quality

abstract this study tried to investigate whether there was any significant relationship between technical translation quality of the senior english translation students and their levels of verbal-linguistic, visual-spatial and interpersonal intelligences. in order to investigate the research questions, the researcher selected a hundred senior english translation students from three universitie...

The Effect of Stress on Visuo-Spatial Working Memory

Stressful events are known to affect a range of cognitive functions, such as attention, memory formation and memory recall. With regard to visuo-spatial working memory, the relationship is particularly complex. In part, this complexity arises from an incomplete picture of visuo-spatial working memory that does not fit well with the experimental literature. The aim of the present study is to rec...

Visuo-spatial Working Memory and the Comprehension of Iconic Gestures

Multi-modal discourse comprehension requires speakers to combine information from speech and gestures. To date, little research has addressed the cognitive resources that underlie these processes. Here we used a dual task paradigm to test the relative importance of verbal and visuo-spatial working memory in speech-gesture comprehension. Healthy, collegeaged participants encoded either a series ...

Learning to Form Visual Chunks: On the Structure of Visuo-Spatial Working Memory

We are interested in a functional account of how capacity constrains memory use in natural, ongoing behaviors, and in how visual memory demands can be reduced through the use of what we have called perceptual pointers, or deictic codes. Here, we ask whether, with experience, participants can restructure task representations such that single fixations can point to more and more complex chunks of...
