phonological loop

phonological loop

1. Papango and Vallar 1992

   • non-word pairs/word pairs
     • learning impaired in non-word pairs
       • increased phonemic similarity
       • increased syllables

2. role of loop specific to learning novel words

3. is it involved in devel when learning new vocab?

4. PV - reduced phon store, diff learning new words

   • Baddeley et al 1988
     • word pairs - Italian-Russian
       • rel btwn ST phon mem + LT phon learning
         • ass btwn STM + LTM in phon domain

5. poss area in phon LTM system - sep from other LTM systems

6. Gathercole et al 1997

   • cap of phon loop predicts perf on sim vocab learning task
     • Service 1992
       • Finnish children - Eng non words

7. theorectical issues

   • irrelevant speech explanantion ?
   • word-length effect - eradicated when phon complexity controlled
     • Lovatt et al 2000
   • w-l effect seen in 4yrs - no rehearsal
     • Hulme et al 1984
   • output delays can cause w-l effects
     • Brown + Hulme 1995
