The main purpose of this research is to study the relationship between verbal working memory an morphological complexity of words. Hungarian as an agglutinative language is of special interest for psycholinguistic inquiries in morphology. The authors present three word-recall experiments. The recall of words was measured by the classical span design. The item lists consisted of 2 syllable stems and 2 syllable morphologically complex words (stem + suffix). Within one list the words were of the same length, the same phonological structure (CVCVC), the same fluency and the same concreteness. The experimental design was the same with 3 syllable words as well. The capacity of the phonological loop was measured by digit span and non-word repetition. Results indicated that morphological complexity has a significant effect on word span. Partial correlation analysis suggests that the effect of the phonological loop on morphologically complex words is mediated by stems rather than suffixes.

This paper reports on the experiment measuring the effect of foreign language sound segments on phonological short-term memory. The capacity of the phonological store and the accuracy of the representations is measured through a nonword repetition task in which participants reproduce two kinds of stimuli: L1-sounding nonwords, comprising first language phones exclusively and L2-sounding nonwords containing both native and foreign language phones. Responses were assessed according to a set of criteria which was devised to control for various production factors , in particular that of accent. The results show a significant difference between the recall of the two types of stimuli, which suggests that the presence of unfamiliar sound segments in the verbal input impairs the maintenance of short-term phonological representations and thus affects the whole process of second language acquisition. The study, at the same time, offers a novel methodological framework for further research on the role of working memory in vocabulary acquisition.
