Resumo(s)
Previous research showed an important association between reading and writing skills (literacy) and the
phonological loop. However, the effects of literacy on other working memory components remain unclear. In this
study, we investigated performance of illiterate subjects and their matched literate controls on verbal and nonverbal
working memory tasks. Results revealed that the phonological loop is significantly influenced by literacy, while the
visuospatial sketchpad appears to be less affected or not at all. Results also suggest that the central executive might
be influenced by literacy, possibly as an expression of cognitive reserve.
