W 4: Memory; Working and Long Term Memory

After reading the chapter the students will be able to know that::

  • comprehending and producing language are performed within the constraints of our information-processing system.
  • This system consists of working memory and long-term memory. Long-term memory comprises
    episodic and semantic memory.
  • A number of issues regarding language processing have been raised. These include whether we primarily use serial or parallel processes, whether we
    tend to use top-down or bottom-up processes, whether language processes are primarily automatic or controlled, and the extent to which language
    processing displays modularity.
