This book evaluates the involvement of working memory in five
central aspects of language processing: vocabulary acquisition,
speech production, reading development, skilled reading, and
comprehension. The authors draw upon experimental,
neuropsychological and developmental evidence in a wide-ranging
evaluation of the contribution of two components of working memory
to each aspect of language. The two components are the phonological
loop, which is specialised for the processing and maintenance of
verbal material, and the general-purpose processing system of the
central executive.
A full introduction to the application of the working memory model
to normal adults, neuropsychological patients and children is
provided in the two opening chapters. Non-experts within this area
will find these chapters particularly useful in providing a clear
statement of the current theoretical and empirical status of the
working memory model. Each of the following chapters examines the
involvement of working memory in one specialised aspect of language
processing, in each case integrating the available experimental,
neuropsychological and developmental evidence. The book will
therefore be of direct relevance to researchers interested in both
language processing and memory.
Working Memory and Language is unique in that it draws together
findings from normal adults, brain-damaged patients, and children.
For each of these populations, working memory involvement in
language processing ranging from the speech production to
comprehension are evaluated. Working Memory and Language provides a
comprehensive analysis of just what roles working memory does play
in the processing of language.
