Verbal working memory and sentence comprehension.
This target article discusses the verbal working memory system used in sentence comprehension. We review the concept of working memory as a short-duration system in which small amounts of information are simultaneously stored and manipulated in the service of accomplishing a task. We summarize the argument that syntactic processing in sentence comprehension requires such a storage and computati...
متن کاملMemory and surprisal in human sentence comprehension
Humboldt famously described language as a system of rules which “makes infinite use of finite means” (Humboldt, 1836; Chomsky, 1965) and this is doubly true in the study of language comprehension. On the one hand, the comprehender’s knowledge of language must be finitely characterized: the brain itself as a computational device is finite, as is the comprehender’s experience of her native langua...
متن کاملVerbal Working Memory in Sentence Comprehension
This paper investigates the nature of verbal working memory (WM) in sentence comprehension and provides evidence for overlapping pools of verbal WM resources between on-line sentence comprehension and other verbally-mediated tasks. We report the results of two dual-task experiments. In Experiment 1, participants simultaneously performed a selfpaced reading task and a self-paced arithmetic addit...

ions are being discussed in other chapters in this book (Barsalou & WiemerHastings, this volume; Gibbs, this volume; Prinz, this volume). 6.0 Conclusion and outlook We started this chapter by comparing two perspectives on cognition in general and on language comprehension in particular. According to the traditional perspective, language comprehension involves the activation and integration of d...
متن کاملBroca's Area, Sentence Comprehension, and Working Memory: An fMRI Study
The role of Broca's area in sentence processing remains controversial. According to one view, Broca's area is involved in processing a subcomponent of syntactic processing. Another view holds that it contributes to sentence processing via verbal working memory. Sub-regions of Broca's area have been identified that are more active during the processing of complex (object-relative clause) sentenc...
