Effect of different presentation orders on processing time and time estimation of verbal working memory

This research explored the effect of different presentation orders on processing time and time estimation, from the perspective of verbal working memory dual-task mode task. 108 participants took part in memorizing order or disorder French word, it showed that the presentation order significantly shortens the processing time and estimation time, thus it proved that the orderly presentation can enhance the work efficiency compared with the disorderly presentation. This research highlights the impact of presentation upon the verbal working memory, which had important theoretical and practical implications.
