Sentence Processing, Working Memory and Executive Control

Communication as a key factor of interaction is immensely dependent on sentence processing. In view of this the significant ingredients of sentence processing viz. structures of sentence, syntactic ambiguity, syntactic complexity and mechanisms of sentence processing have been highlighted. Executive control and working memory have been significant to the phenomenon of sentence processing. Executive control occupies a managerial role in information processing and thus sentence processing also, and working memory sustains and transforms the information. The future directions regarding implications of cognitive control for sentence processing and the relation between sentence processing, executive control and working memory have been suggested.
