In 1848, for example, a horrible construction accident caused Phineas Gage to suffer damage in the frontmost part of his brain; this damage led to severe personality and emotional problems. In 1861, physician Paul Broca noted that damage in a different location, on the left side of the brain, led to a disruption of language skills. In 1911, Édouard Claparède (1911/1951) reported his observations with patients who suffered from profound memory loss, a loss produced by damage in still another part of the brain.

We’ve known this fact about the brain for many years, thanks to clinical evidence showing that the symptoms produced by brain damage depend heavily on the location of the damage. In 1848, for example, a horrible construction accident caused Phineas Gage to suffer damage in the frontmost part of his brain; this damage led to severe personality and emotional problems. In 1861, physician Paul Broca noted that damage in a different location, on the left side of the brain, led to a disruption of language skills.

Therefore, these other operations should not be compromised if the loop is unavailable. This, too, turns out to be correct: Concurrent articulation blocks use of the loop but has no effect on someone’s ability to read brief sentences, to do logic problems, and so on. Likewise, we can present people with a string of three or four letters and ask them to remember these while solving a simple problem. After they’ve solved the problem, they report back the original letters. It turns out that half-filling working memory in this fashion has virtually no impact on problem-solving; performance is just as fast and just as accurate under these circumstances as it is without the memory load.
