Visual evoked potentials: relation to adult speechreading and cognitive function.
TLDR
This study investigated the putative relationship between visual evoked potentials (VEPs) and specific aspects of speechreading and found significant correlations for some context-free word discrimination and sign-alphabet testing conditions.Abstract:
This study investigated the putative relationship between visual evoked potentials (VEPs) and specific aspects of speechreading. The nature and constraints of the relationship between VEPs and cogn...read more

Working memory and language comprehension: A meta-analysis.
TL;DR: The results of the meta-analysis support Daneman and Carpenter’s (1980) claim that measures thatTap the combined processing and storage capacity of working memory are better predictors of comprehension than are measures that tap only the storage capacity.

Steady-state visually evoked potentials: focus on essential paradigms and future perspectives.
TL;DR: The steady-state evoked activity, its properties, and the mechanisms behind SSVEP generation are investigated and future research directions related to basic and applied aspects of SSVEPs are outlined.

Event-related beta desynchronization in human subthalamic nucleus correlates with motor performance.
Andrea A. Kühn,David Williams,Andreas Kupsch,Patricia Limousin,Marwan Hariz,Gerd Schneider,Kielan Yarrow,Peter Brown +7 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the subthalamic nucleus is involved in the preparation of externally paced voluntary movements in humans and the degree of synchronization of subthalamus nucleus activity in the beta band may be an important determinant of whether motor programming and movement initiation is favoured or suppressed.

TL;DR: This paper examines the Ease of Language Understanding model in light of new behavioral and neural findings concerning the role of working memory capacity (WMC) in uni-modal and bimodal language processing.

Cognition counts: A working memory system for ease of language understanding (ELU)
TL;DR: The present paper focuses on four aspects of the model which have led to the current, updated version: the language generality assumption; the mismatch assumption; chronological age; and the episodic buffer function of rapid, automatic multimodal binding of phonology (RAMBPHO).

Individual differences in working memory and reading
TL;DR: The reading span, the number of final words recalled, varied from two to five for 20 college students and was correlated with three reading comprehension measures, including verbal SAT and tests involving fact retrieval and pronominal reference.
Journal ArticleDOI
Word length and the structure of short-term memory
TL;DR: This article explored the hypothesis that immediate memory span is not constant, but varies with the length of the words to be recalled, finding that words of short temporal duration are better recalled than words of long duration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Components of fluent reading
TL;DR: This paper found that reading comprehension is dependent on a number of separable components including vocabulary, working memory, and a general lexical access process, which is a significant predictor as did lexical decision with nonhomophonous nonwords, letter name matching, and vocabulary.
