Time and Updating of Memory

还有什么比阅读几个项目，比如电话号码中的数字，并在一段时间后以正确的顺序回忆它们更简单的呢？尽管它表面上看起来很简单，但这项短期的连续回忆任务是复杂的语言能力的基础，如词汇习得和话语产生。同样，序列保持也可以是心算中的一个关键因素。因此，更好地理解序列顺序的短期记忆对许多教育领域都有广泛的影响，特别是在小学环境中。这个项目的社区利益来自于可以在这些结果的基础上开发的改进的教学方法。

What could be simpler than reading a few items, such as the digits in a phone number, and recalling them in the right order a short while later? Notwithstanding its apparent simplicity, this short-term serial recall task underlies sophisticated language abilities such as vocabulary acquisition and utterance production. Similarly, serial retention can be a critical element in mental arithmetic. A better understanding of short-term memory for serial order therefore has wide implications across many areas of education, in particular in primary school settings. The community benefit of this project arises from the improved teaching methods that can be developed on the basis of these results.
