Abstract We present a case of a patient with a disorder of short-term memory. BO has a reduced span (2 to 3 items), no recency effect in free recall, and rapid forgetting in Brown-Peterson tasks, establishing her as a patient with impaired short-term verbal memory functions. She shows no effect of either phonological similarity or word length in recall of auditory or written word lists, but some recency effect under recall-from-end conditions and better performance on Brown-Peterson tasks in an unfilled than in a filled condition. This pattern of performance is interpreted as being consistent with a primary disturbance of the articulatory rehearsal processes of S.T.M. and possibly some impairment of the phonological store (using Baddeley's 1986 terminology). Her aphasic disturbance—apraxia of speech—is also consistent with a disturbance of articulatory rehearsal. BO shows a retained ability to extract phonology from print, including an ability to apply sublexical grapheme-phoneme correspondences, thus ind...
