Capacity Theory of Comprehension: Individual Differences in Working Memory Marcel Adam Just and Patricia A. Carpenter Carnegie Mellon University A theory of the way working memory capacity constrains comprehension is proposed. The theory proposes that both processing and storage are mediated by activation and that the total amount of activation available in working memory varies among individuals. Individual differences in working memory capacity for language can account for qualitative and quantitative

A solid-state drive is a drive that uses non-volatile memory as a means of storing and accessing data‚ similar to computer RAM (SSD‚ 2014). An advantage the solid-state drive has over other hard drives is no moving parts. This allows the solid-state drive to access information faster‚ produces no sound‚ and significantly more reliable than the common hard drive. The first solid-state drive was designed and implemented between the 1970s and 1980s. Throughout the years‚ the storage capabilities have

Effects of Background Music on Phonological Short-term Memory In this research article‚ written by Pierre Salame and Alan Baddeley‚ a series of tests were conducted to observe if a person’s short term memory was affected by listening to instrumental music versus vocal music. It is noted that immediate memory is verbally disrupted by concurrent- occurring simultaneously- speech. In Pierre’s experiment‚ he tested subjects to recall a sequence of nine digits that were visually presented. In separate
