STM capacity for Chinese words and idioms: Chunking and acoustical loop hypotheses.

Summary: Pending
Copyright 1985 Psychonomic Society, Inc. Both authors were with Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh. "The capacity of short-term memory (STM) for verbal materials depends both upon the number of familiar chunks and upon the average complexity (number of syllables) of the chunks. A model that predicts STM capacity well was built, incorporating these two factors, for a number of experiments that used both Chinese and English language materials. One experiment, which used Chinese homophones, showed that STM has a nonacoustical (visual or semantic) component as well as an acoustical one. STM capacity for material encoded nonphonologically appears to be ..."
