Working memory (WM) is often tested through immediate serial recall of word lists.
Performance in such tasks is negatively influenced by phonological similarity: People more …

It is now firmly established that long-term memory knowledge, such as semantic knowledge,
supports the temporary maintenance of verbal information in Working Memory (WM). This …

In a sequence, at least two aspects of information—the identity of items and their serial order—
are maintained and supported by distinct working memory (WM) capacities. Verbal serial …

Long-term memory knowledge is considered to impact short-term maintenance of item
information in working memory, as opposed to short-term maintenance of serial order …

Recall performance in working memory (WM) is strongly affected by the similarity between
items. When asked to encode and recall list of items in their serial order, people confuse …

Short-term memory has mostly been investigated with verbal or visuospatial stimuli and less
