Memory and cognitive control in an integrated theory of language processing

摘要

Pickering & Garrod's (P&G's) integrated mode] of production and comprehension includes no explicit role for nonlinguistic cognitive processes. Yet, how domain-general cognitive functions contribute to language processing has become clearer with well-specified theories and supporting data. We therefore believe that their account can benefit by incorporating functions like working memory and cognitive control into a unified model of language processing.
