The interaction of concreteness and phonological similarity in verbal working memory.
Although phonological representations have been a primary focus of verbal working memory research, lexical-semantic manipulations also influence performance. In the present study, the authors investigated whether a classic phenomenon in verbal working memory, the phonological similarity effect (PSE), is modulated by a lexical-semantic variable, word concreteness. Phonological overlap and concre...
متن کاملPhonological similarity in working memory.
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, as in a reading span test, as compared with ...
متن کاملTheoretical implications of articulatory duration, phonological similarity, and phonological complexity in verbal working memory.
The phonological-loop model provides a prominent theoretical description of verbal working memory. According to it, serial recall accuracy should be inversely related to the articulatory duration and phonological similarity of verbal items in memorized sequences. Initial tests of these predictions by A. D. Baddeley and colleagues (e.g., A. D. Baddeley, N. Thomson, & M. Buchanan, 1975) appeared ...
متن کاملThe effect of verbal and visuospatial working memory spans on collocation processing in learners of English
Much interest has recently been directed toward the knowledge of collocations in the field of second language learning since they have been asserted to improve fluency. The current study was intended to examine the effect of verbal and visuospatial working memory spans on the processing of collocations using a Self-Pace Reading Task (SPRT) and relevant working memory tasks. To this end, partici...
