Evidence of repeated access to immediate verbal memory during handwriting

Writing is a relatively slow process. A certain degree of overlapping must therefore be assumed to exist between motor activities and more «central» processes involved in the production of language. The present experiment was based on the assumption that these management processes must leave some traces at the level of execution. Subjects were asked to read and memorize a sequence of three words (examples: «parachute parapluie paramètre», «taximètre décimètre paramètre»); and write them down on a graphic tablet. The results are consistent with the following ideas: the same motor program was used for the three occurrences of repeated morphemes Non-repeated morphemes were recovered from verbal memory while the preceding repeated morpheme was being written.
