TLDR
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.About:

Sources of Method Bias in Social Science Research and Recommendations on How to Control It
TL;DR: The meaning of the terms "method" and "method bias" are explored and whether method biases influence all measures equally are examined, and the evidence of the effects that method biases have on individual measures and on the covariation between different constructs is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The episodic buffer: a new component of working memory?
TL;DR: The revised model differs from the old principally in focussing attention on the processes of integrating information, rather than on the isolation of the subsystems, which provides a better basis for tackling the more complex aspects of executive control in working memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Working memory: looking back and looking forward
TL;DR: The concept of working memory proposes that a dedicated system maintains and stores information in the short term, and that this system underlies human thought processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Working Memory: Theories, Models, and Controversies
TL;DR: An account of the origins and development of the multicomponent approach to working memory is presented, making a distinction between the overall theoretical framework, which has remained relatively stable, and the attempts to build more specific models within this framework.
Journal ArticleDOI
The neural correlates of the verbal component of working memory.
TL;DR: Comparisons of distribution of cerebral blood flow in these conditions localized the phonological store to the left supramarginal gyrus whereas the subvocal rehearsal system was associated with Broca's area, the first demonstration of the normal anatomy of the components of the 'articulatory loop'.

The magical number seven, plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information
TL;DR: The theory of information as discussed by the authors provides a yardstick for calibrating our stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of our subjects and provides a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.

The magical number seven plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information
TL;DR: The theory provides us with a yardstick for calibrating the authors' stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of their subjects, and the concepts and measures provided by the theory provide a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.

Perception and communication
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a transition between behaviourist learning theory and the modern information processing or cognitive approach to perception and communication skills, and provide a principal starting point for theoretical and experimental work on selective attention.

Acoustic confusions in immediate memory.
TL;DR: The role of neurological noise in recall is discussed in relation to these results as discussed by the authors, and it is further argued that information theory is inadequate to explain the memory span, since the nature of the stimulus set, which can be defined quantitatively, as well as the information per item, is likely to be a determining factor.

Short-term memory for word sequences as a function of acoustic, semantic and formal similarity.
TL;DR: A large and significant effect of acoustic similarity was shown on short-term memory of sequences of words which had a similar letter structure but were pronounced differently, with acoustically similar but formally dissimilar words and with control sequences.
