The role of verbal short-term memory in complex sentence comprehension: an observational study on aphasia
Researchers from universities and medical facilities in Italy (Milan, Trento) and France (Paris) have collaborated to compare comprehension performance in persons with agrammatic and fluent aphasias when presented with sentences of varying syntactic structures and challenge levels. The researchers focused on how phonological short-term memory (pSTM) interacts with syntactic complexity to affect sentence comprehension in…
