Participants were patients with left USN and healthy controls. Participants completed spatial and shape working memory tasks in which stimuli were presented near the right edge of the display to minimise the influence of rightward attentional bias, thereby enabling a more accurate assessment of working memory performance. In the spatial working memory task, participants were required to focus on the locations of stimuli, whereas in the shape working memory task, they were required to focus on the shapes of stimuli. Participants also completed line cancellation tasks under two conditions, one in which markings remained visible (visible task) and the other in which markings were invisible (invisible task), with the instruction to cancel each line only once. The results revealed that some patients showed lower performance on the spatial than on the shape working memory task, whereas no patients showed the opposite pattern. Patients made more revisit errors in the invisible than in the visible task. Moreover, spatial working memory performance was negatively correlated with the frequency of revisit errors.

Twenty non-demented PD patients and 20 healthy control participants completed the Test di Intelligenza Breve (TIB) and the Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire (CRIq) as proxies of CR and the Story-based Empathy Task (SET; emotion attribution and intention attribution), the FACE Test and the Emotion Recognition Task (ERT; faces only, voices only and faces-voices) as tests of social cognition.

Some researchers view short-term memory as involving separate stores or buffers that hold information independently of long-term memory. Others conceive of working memory as activated long-term memory (henceforth aLTM), supplemented by a mechanism to specifically represent order information (e.g. Majerus, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;) or maintain items in a highly accessible state (e.g. focus of attention, Cowan, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;). Colleagues and I reported a double dissociation among two groups of individuals with neuropsychological impairments that we took as support for cognitive models with separate buffers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Majerus, Cowan and Oberauer put forward a critique of our conclusions to which I shall respond. We would first like to state that we really see the value of their position (e.g. Bormann et al., &lt;span&gt;2025&lt;/span&gt;). We also agree that dissociations in individuals with neuropsychological impairments require great methodological scrutiny. Majerus et al. put forward three arguments against our conclusions, and we shall respond to each of their points below. We believe that each of their arguments has weaknesses. In general, we believe that they focus too much on one aspect of the reported double dissociation and pay too little attention to the opposite pattern of impairments, namely HS's better short-term retention of verbal information despite her severe impairments at multiple levels of word processing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Majerus et al.'s first argument is that those accounts which conceive of working memory as aLTM do not predict that each or any language impairment should affect repetition. They note that language processing involved several different levels and representations and not all are involved in repetition. We would like to respond that proponents of working memory as aLTM often refer to correlations between impaired word processing and impaired verbal short-term memory and view these correlations as evidence for their theoretical position. For example, they refer to studies by Patterson et al. (&lt;span&gt;1994&lt;/span&gt;), Majerus et al. (&lt;span&gt;2007&lt;/span&gt;) as well as Martin et al. (&lt;span&gt;1996&lt;/span&gt;) reporting correlations between single word or semantic processing and retention of verbal information. Majerus et al. do not propose criteria on which neuropsychological studies to consider and which studies to ignore. Crucially, our participant HS exhibited severe impairments at multiple levels of word processing. This included auditory lexical decisions but also spoken word-to-picture matching reflecting both a considerable deficit of lexical processing as well as comprehension of a spoken word's meaning. Thus, we demonstrated a severe deficit in HS in mapping auditory input onto semantic representations.
