  • Summary

    Working Memory (WM) is a central structure maintaining information at short term in face of temporal decay and interference for its processing in ongoing tasks. As a consequence, WM is strongly involved in learning, especially in learning first or second languages. The Time-Based Resource Sharing (TBRS) model describes the functioning and development of WM, in particular by integrating the role of executive attention and the time constraints that affect cognitive processes. After a brief overview of the model, this chapter focuses on the distinction between a domain-specific system of maintenance in charge of verbal information and a domain-general system relying on attention. Hence, we show how verbal information is maintained in WM from childhood to adulthood, and how linguistic features of verbal information impact its short-term memory. Conversely, we explain how WM mechanisms in the TBRS model affect the creation of true and false verbal long-term memory traces.
