Why Is Word Learning Related to List Memory? Empirical and Neuropsychological Tests of a Computational Account
نویسنده
چکیده
A growing body of evidence indicates that human word learning, nonword repetition, and immediate serial recall (ISR) abilities are related in some way (e.g., Baddeley et al., 1998). It seems clear why word learning might be related to nonword repetition: every known word was once a nonword to a particular learner, so greater facility in processing nonwords should lead to greater facility in eventually learning them. But why might nonword repetition and list recall be related?
