Abstract:
Two experiments are conducted to assess the involvement of the visouspatial sketchpad of working memeory in propositional and spatial reasoning, using a dual-task methodology. While a concurrent tracking task was found to interfere with spatial reasoning, no such interference was found with propositional reasoning. The results are discussed with respect to the mental-models theory of reasoning.
