Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► Adults with and without aphasia completed n -back tasks varying in WM and language demands. ► The n -back task was reliable for adults with aphasia. ► n -Back performance was not consistently affected by age or vigilance. ► The aphasia group experienced a greater performance decrement at higher WM loads versus controls. ► The n -back task holds promise for quantifying WM in aphasia.
