A test of the relation between working-memory capacity and syntactic island effects (2012, background): “…is a limited pool of processing resources The limited capacity assumption follows the widely held view that humans have limited working memory capacity (within the sentence processing literature see: King and Just 1991, Just and Carpenter 1992, Caplan and Waters 1999, Fedorenko et al 2006, 2007).”
Clearing the garden-path: improving sentence processing through cognitive control training (2014, background): “…storage, processing and maintenance factor into language interpretation irrespective of ambiguity or conflict, for instance in spoken comprehension tasks or in moving-window reading paradigms where the demands for mnemonic properties of working memory are high (see, e.g., Fedorenko et al., 2006).”
Segregating the core computational faculty of human language from working memory (2009, background): “The present study clearly demonstrates that the syntactic computations involved in the processing of syntactically complex sentences is neuroanatomically separate from the nonsyntactic VWM, thus favoring the view that syntactic processes are independent of general VWM (10, 11, 24, 25).”
Variable dialect switching among African American children: Inferences about working memory (2010, unknown): “…of concurrent memory load with sentence complexity can be observed when one manipulates the similarity of the complex sentence and the load on verbal memory rather than the span of the list comprising the memory load; see Gordon et al. (2002), Fedorenko et al. (2006), and Lewis et al. (2006).”
