Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Noise, unattended speech and short-term memory

Notes: Sumario: The present study compares the effect of noise with that of unattended speech. Three experiments required the immediate serial recall of sequences of nine visually presented digits accompained by silence, noise or unattended speech in an unfamiliar language. It is suggested that noise does not interfere with short-term memory but that unattended speech does impair performance by disrupting the articulatory loop component of working memory. Implications for studies of noise pollution are discussedRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London [etc.]. - Vol. 30, nº 8, August 1987 ; p. 1185-1194Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Ruido Nivel de ruido Memorización Cognición Comunicación Psicología Otros autores: Baddeley, Alan
