Abstract
The role of verbal mediation in visual short term memory was compared in aphasics and non-aphasic brain-injured controls, using an adaptation of Conrad's procedure. Subjects were given two sets of pictures to match from memory. One set consisted of objects with acoustically similar names, while the other set had no such similarity in sound. Inferior performance on the acoustically similar set was taken as evidence that there was interference caused by covert verbal mediation in this ostensibly visual memory task. Evidence of verbal mediation was found in the non-aphasic controls, but absent in the aphasics.
