=== Aphasia ===
[[Aphasia]]s commonly occur after left-hemisphere [[stroke]] or with [[Neurodegenerative disease|neurodegenerative]] conditions such as [[primary progressive aphasia]]s.<ref>{{cite book |doi=10.4324/9781315764061 |title=Cognitive Neuroscience of Language |year=2014 |last1=Kemmerer |first1=David |isbn=978-1-315-76406-1 |s2cid=142396490 }}</ref> Patients with left temporoparietal focal lesions may suffer a deficit of verbal short-term memory, which may also be a feature of [[Logopenic progressive aphasia|logopenic primary progressive aphasia]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Vallar |first1=G. |last2=Corno |first2=M. |last3=Basso |first3=A. |date=September 1992 |title=Auditory and visual verbal short-term memory in aphasia |journal=Cortex |volume=28 |issue=3 |pages=383–389 |doi=10.1016/s0010-9452(13)80148-7 |pmid=1395642|s2cid=4477413 |doi-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Vallar |first1=Giuseppe |last2=Di Betta |first2=Anna Maria |last3=Silveri |first3=Maria Caterina |title=The phonological short-term store-rehearsal system: Patterns of impairment and neural correlates |journal=Neuropsychologia |date=May 1997 |volume=35 |issue=6 |pages=795–812 |doi=10.1016/s0028-3932(96)00127-3 |pmid=9204486 |s2cid=41912458 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Meyer |first1=Aaron M. |last2=Snider |first2=Sarah F. |last3=Campbell |first3=Rachael E. |last4=Friedman |first4=Rhonda B. |date=October 2015 |title=Phonological short-term memory in logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia and mild Alzheimer's disease |journal=Cortex |volume=71 |pages=183–189 |doi=10.1016/j.cortex.2015.07.003 |pmc=4521400 |pmid=26232551}}</ref>

Many language-impaired patients complain about short-term memory deficits. Family members confirm that patients have trouble recalling previously known names and events. These signals are supported by studies reporting that many aphasics also have trouble with visual-memory required tasks.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Jodzio |first1=Krzysztof |last2=Taraszkiewicz |first2=Wioleta |title=Short-term memory impairment: evidence from aphasia |journal=Psychology of Language and Communication |date=2009 |volume=3 |issue=2 |pages=39–48 |url=http://www.plc.psychologia.pl/plc/plc/contents/fulltext/03-2_3.pdf |s2cid=51760974 }}</ref> There have been reports of deficits in verbal short-term memory when related to short-term memory, these deficits are harder to treat since there are less measurements for verbal short-term memory.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Greenspan |first1=Wendy |last2=Obermeyer |first2=Jessica |last3=Tucker |first3=Carole A. |last4=Grunwald |first4=Heidi |last5=Reinert |first5=Laura |last6=Martin |first6=Nadine |date=2020-01-11 |title=Clinician perspectives on the assessment of short-term memory in aphasia |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02687038.2020.1712584 |journal=Aphasiology |volume=35 |issue=3 |pages=334–356 |doi=10.1080/02687038.2020.1712584 |pmid=34024984 |pmc=8132705 |issn=0268-7038}}</ref>
