One aspect is syntactic modularity: The larger capacity of some individuals permits interaction among syntactic and pragmatic information, so that their syntactic processes are not informationally encapsulated.
The theory proposes that both processing and storage are mediated by activation and that the total amount of activation available in working memory varies among individuals. Abstract A theory of the way working memory capacity constrains comprehension is proposed.
However, its function in language comprehension is especially evident because comprehension entails processing Keyphrases.
Psychol Rev. Individual differences in working memory capacity for language can account for qualitative and quantitative differences among college-age adults in several aspects of language comprehension.
Individual differences in working memory capacity for language can account for qualitative and quantitative differences among college-age adults in several aspects of language comprehension. Another aspect is syntactic ambiguity: The larger capacity of some individuals permits them to maintain multiple interpretations. A comment on this article appears in " The capacity theory of sentence comprehension: critique of Just and Carpenter " Psychol Rev. The theory is instantiated as a production system model in which the amount of activation available to the model affects how it adapts to the transient computational and storage demands that occur in comprehension.

Working memory plays a central role in all forms of complex thinking, such as reasoning, problem solving, and language comprehension. Individual differences in working memory capacity for language can account for qualitative and quantitative differences among college-age adults in several aspects of language comprehension.
