Ok, I've been doing more thinking and research on this. There are different models of how the mind works (no one really knows for sure), but it seems that Baddeley's model seems popular. In short, anything you hear or say comes or goes via the phonological loop which is a part of working (temporary) memory. The phonological loop is limited in size, and a small one can impact language acquisition.
Personally, I think my own phonological loop is probably on the smaller end of the range (and/or gets other random thoughts dumped into it). Even in my native language (English), I sometimes have forgotten how I started a sentence by the time I get to the end.
I haven't found any studies that show a connection between aspergers and phonological loop size, but as aspies tend to be better at written instructions than verbal, I still wonder if there is a connection. Any thoughts? Or is it just me?
