Short-Term Memory, Working Memory, and Verbal Abilities: How Do They Relate?

Cantor, Judy; And Others

Intelligence, v15 n2 p229-46 Apr-Jun 1991

Using 49 undergraduates, short-term memory (STM) spans, STM probe-recall tasks, and complex working memory (WM) spans were studied to assess the relationships among STM, WM, and verbal ability. Results indicate that STM and WM are separate cognitive constructs, and that both STM and WM are important to verbal abilities. (SLD)
