Abstract
Two patients with a specific deficit of auditory verbal short-term memory were tested on two tasks of short-term retention, one involving verbal material-letters-and the other non-verbal material-meaningful sounds. There was a striking dissociation between performance on the two tasks, only their performance on the verbal tasks being impaired.
