Speech, "Inner Speech," and the Development of Short-Term Memory: Effects of Picture-Labeling on Recall.

Hitch, Graham J.; And Others

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v51 n2 p220-34 Apr 1991

Reports on experiments to determine effects of overt speech on children's use of inner speech in short-term memory. Word length and phonemic similarity had greater effects on older children and when pictures were labeled at presentation. Suggests that speaking or listening to speech activates an internal articulatory loop. (Author/GH)
