Effects of representation length: Memory components are typically restricted in the number of elements that can be held simultaneously active, and disorders of memory are often characterized by a reduction in the capacity of the component. Damage to the graphemic buffer is thought to result in more errors when longer sequences are stored. If we examine ML´s performance in written and oral spelling according to the length of the response, we find that, whereas performance is as good as 61% (60/99) with three-and four-letter words, accuracy falls to 4% (2/50) with seven- and eight-letter words (see Table 6.5).
