Modality of language shapes working memory: evidence from digit span and spatial span in ASL signers.
Deaf children who are native users of American Sign Language (ASL) and hearing children who are native English speakers performed three working memory tasks. Results indicate that language modality shapes the architecture of working memory. Digit span with forward and backward report, performed by each group in their native language, suggests that the language rehearsal mechanisms for spoken la...
متن کاملSimilar digit-based working memory in deaf signers and hearing non-signers despite digit span differences
Similar working memory (WM) for lexical items has been demonstrated for signers and non-signers while short-term memory (STM) is regularly poorer in deaf than hearing individuals. In the present study, we investigated digit-based WM and STM in Swedish and British deaf signers and hearing non-signers. To maintain good experimental control we used printed stimuli throughout and held response mode...
متن کاملThe Effect of Working Memory Rehabilitation on Visual Memory and Memory Span
Introduction: Age-related cognitive decline or cognitive aging is largely the result of structural and functional decline in specific areas of the brain, but lifestyle also contributes to this cognitive decline. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of working memory rehabilitation on visual memory and memory span in ageing. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pret...
متن کاملVerbal working memory impairment in schizophrenia patients and their first-degree relatives: evidence from the digit span task.
OBJECTIVE The evidence for verbal working memory deficits in schizophrenia has been inconsistent. Few studies have evaluated verbal working memory in the first-degree relatives of schizophrenia patients, who likely share the genetic diathesis for schizophrenia but not the potential confounds associated with chronic mental illness. METHOD The Wechsler Digit Span Task was used to investigate ve...
متن کاملWorking memory in deaf children with cochlear implants: correlations between digit span and measures of spoken language processing.
This correlational study investigated the role of working memory in speech intelligibility, speech intelligibility, language processing and reading in a group of 43 prelingually deaf children with cochlear implants. Using the digit span subtests of the WISC as a measure of working memory capacity, moderate to high correlations were obtained between forward auditory digit span and each of the fo...
