Noise, unattended speech and short-term memory / by Pierre Salamé and Alan Baddeley
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 discussed
