Hulme, Charles; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v38 n2 p241-53 Oct 1984
Examines the effects of word duration on memory span in subjects of different ages.

Suggests that increases in speech rate with age reflect increases in the speed of articulation of individual words. (Author/AS)
