     The Relationship Between Lexical Learning, Verbal Working 
Memory,
                  Implicit Memory, and Explicit Memory


                            Abstract

I will present a view of lexical learning that attempts to relate it
to a variety of memory systems.  I will discuss the idea that implicit
and explicit memory (i.e., two different aspects of long-term memory
systems) may be differentially involved in different aspects of
lexical learning (Gupta & Dell, in press).  I will also discuss a
computational framework that attempts to accommodate a variety of
recent evidence that lexical learning processes and verbal short-term
memory are related in some way (Gupta & MacWhinney, 1997).  I will
discuss experimental studies following from this framework, that
examine the representational status of nonwords.
