摘要：Two hypotheses have been put forward concerning the source of deficits in the short-termretention of semantic information; 1) difficulty inhibiting irrelevant verbal information (Hamilton &Martin, 2005), 2) overly rapid decay (Martin & Lesch, 1996). The current study evaluates these twoalternatives using the concurrent probe paradigm (Shivde & Anderson, 2011), where subjectsmaintain a single semantic representation while performing a concurrent lexical decision task.
