Working memory has been linked to the frontal lobes, with verbal ability predominantly on the left side in most individuals.
It has been shown that these two tasks are mediated by different areas of the brain, with verbal fluency linked to the frontal cortex and categorical fluency linked to the temporal cortex (Baldo, Schwartz, Wilkins, & Dronkers, 2006).
This allowed us to dissociate neural markers for the two types of IQ and to show that general verbal and non-verbal abilities are closely linked to the sensorimotor skills involved in learning.
The equivalent is the verbal noun, which is a noun closely linked to the verb, though not necessarily derived from the same stem.
One study tested children with poor mathematical or poor reading achievement as well as children with a combined deficit and found that visual STM was related to poor mathematical achievement, and poor reading achievement was linked to poor verbal STM while the double deficit group had poor verbal WM (Schuchardt, Maehler & Hasselhorn, 2008; see also Van der Sluis, van der Leij & de Jong, 2005).
Childhood exposure to severely disadvantaged communities is linked to decreased verbal ability later in childhood, a lasting negative effect that continues even after moving out of the neighborhood, according to research that will be published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Klinefelter syndrome, on the other hand, apart from phenotypic features, such as high stature, gynecomastia, and infertility, is often linked to declined verbal skills [ 7].
In addition to its essential role for declarative memory (i.e., the ability to recollect facts and events) (2), the temporal lobe has also been linked to verbal fluency (VF) (3).
From an information processing perspective, an explicit motive is linked to verbal cues and respondent behavior.
