Resumo
In this paper, we examine the use of silent pauses made by high and low working memory span individuals, during the reading span test (the Brazilian Portuguese version), aiming at verifying possible strategies used by the subjects in order to accommodate the transient computational and storage demands that occur in the task. Our results are congruent with the idea that language production quality is also influenced by the subjects´ working memory capacity: high span subjects produced more sentences without pause, made shorter pauses, and therefore spent less time reading the test sentences than low span subjects.Referências
