Phonological distinctiveness and phonological short term memory

Phonological short term memory in conduction aphasia

Background: Within cognitive neuropsychological models, conduction aphasia has been conceptualized as a phonological buffer deficit. It may affect the output buffer, the input buffer, or both. The phonological output buffer is a short-term storage, responsible for the short-term maintenance of phonological units until their articulation, as well as for phonological and morphological composition...

Phonological working memory and speech production in preschool children.

This study investigates whether phonological working memory is associated with spoken language development in preschool children.

Both quantitative and qualitative indices of the children's spontaneous speech output were taken in a structured play session. Significant ...

Deficits in verbal long-term memory and learning in children with poor phonological short-term memory skills.

Possible links between phonological short-term memory and both longer term memory and learning in 8-year-old children were investigated in this study. Performance on a range of tests of long-term memory and learning was compared for a group of 16 children with poor phonological short-term memory skills and a comparison group of children of the same age with matched nonverbal reasoning abilities...
