Abstract
Gibson (1998; 2000) argued that the distance between the two linguistic elements to be integrated imposes a critical limitation on working memory (WM). The current study investigated the effects of distance on online and offline reading sentence comprehension in persons with aphasia (PWA) and normal elderly individuals (NEI). The results revealed that NEI showed a relatively systematic increase in online reading times and errors to the yes/no questions as a function of a distance manipulation. In contrast, the effects of distance were not evident in PWA.
