Semantic but not Phonological Short-Term Memory Supports Sentence Elaboration in Narrative Production: Evidence from Left Hemisphere Acute Stroke

Phonological distinctiveness and phonological short term memory

Featural Analysis and Short-term Memory Retrieval in On-Line Parsing: Evidence for Syntactic, but Not Phonological, Similarity-Based Interference

This paper investigates mechanisms of short-term memory involved in human sentence processing, focusing on how short-term memory functions are realized and constrained in establishing certain linguistic dependencies. We specifically examine a cue-based retrieval approach to short-term memory (Lewis et al. 2005, 2006) which assumes that a proceduralized grammar together with incoming words trigg...

Recovery of cohesion in narrative discourse after left-hemisphere stroke.

Little is known about the recovery of narrative discourse after stroke. While several studies have analyzed the recovery of language in individuals with aphasia, few known studies exist on the recovery of narrative discourse in stroke survivors, particularly those who have not been diagnosed with aphasia. In this study, we evaluated the cohesiveness of narrative discourse in a cohort of individ...

Semantic and phonological contributions to short-term repetition and long-term cued sentence recall.

The function of verbal short-term memory is supported not only by the phonological loop, but also by semantic resources that may operate on both short and long time scales. Elucidation of the neural underpinnings of these mechanisms requires effective behavioral manipulations that can selectively engage them. We developed a novel cued sentence recall paradigm to assess the effects of two factor...

Short-term phonological memory in preschool children.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to design a short-term memory test, to describe quantitative performance in typically language developing children and to verify the relationship between the non-words repetition and oral phonological measure. METHODS The participants included 136 typically language developing children aged from 3 years to 6 years and 11 months old in this study, who were...
