Studies of STM properties in animals may help us better understand the nature of our own storage limitations: The case of birdsong acquisition
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 October 2001
Abstract
I like Cowan's review of STM properties and especially his suggestions on the role of attention. I missed, however, a consideration of studies which provide evidence for STM properties in animals. In my commentary, I argue that such evidence can elucidate the biological basis of storage limitations, validating this view by discussing mechanisms which constrain the acquisition of serial information in songbirds.
