TL;DR: Keltikangas-Jarvinen and Terav as mentioned in this paper found that Russians living in Estonia were less collectivistic with regard to their families and society than the Russians from Moscow corroborating the general rule that those who have migrated to other countries are usually more individualistic than those who had stayed in their resident countries.
Abstract: Three clearly distinguishable types of collectivism—relations with family (familism), peers (companionship), and society (patriotism)—were found in a cross-cultural sample including Estonian, North American, and 2 Russian populations. The Estonian sample was the least collectivistic in those 3 areas of social relations, a finding that contradicts the popular claim that Estonia is a collectivistic country (L. Keltikangas-Jarvinen & T. Terav, 1996; S. H. Schwartz, 1994; H. C. Triandis, 1995). The 2 Russian samples, from Moscow and Narva, were more collectivistic than the U.S. and Estonian samples. The finding that the Russians living in Estonia were less collectivistic with regard to their families and society than the Russians from Moscow corroborates the general rule that those who have migrated to other countries are usually more individualistic than those who have stayed in their resident countries. The usefulness of the %S score (the percentage of a respondent's answers to the question “Who am...

TL;DR: It is suggested that several more components could be differentiated to make a model of working memory complete, because syntax is not always separable from the subject's verbal memory capacity as measured by standard working memory tasks.
Abstract: The target article differentiates a new, syntactic component in verbal working memory. We suggest that several more components could be differentiated to make a model of working memory complete. Next, syntax is not always separable from the subject's verbal memory capacity as measured by standard working memory tasks. Finally, interference between different processes cannot be taken as evidence for the processes sharing the same resources. Interference might be a result of active mutual inhibition.
