Individual Differences in Integrating Information between and within Sentences.

Daneman, Meredyth; Carpenter, Patricia A.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, v9 n4 p561-84 Oct 1983

Individual differences in working memory capacity affect the probability of resolving apparent inconsistencies in sentences. Resolution was less likely for readers with small working memories. Such readers devote so many resources to reading processes that they have less capacity for retaining earlier verbatim wording in working memory. (Author/RD)
