Incorporating semantics and individual differences in models of working memory
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 26 (6):742-742 (2003)
| Abstract | Ruchkin et al.'s view of working memory as activated long-term memory is more compatible with language processing than models such as Baddeley's, but it raises questions about individual differences in working memory and the validity of domain-general capacity estimates. Does it make sense to refer to someone as having low working memory capacity if capacity depends on particular knowledge structures tapped by the task? | |||||||||
