Differential Enhancement of Working Memory with Mathematical versus Verbal Precocity.
Dark, Veronica J.; Benbow, Camilla Persson
Journal of Educational Psychology, v83 n1 p48-60 Mar 1991
Two experiments compared the working memory performance of 77 highly gifted seventh and eighth graders (13 and 14 Years ole) with verbal or mathematical precocity, or both. Different types of intellectual talent correlate with different working memory characteristics and differences in how digit and word stimuli are represented in memory. (SLD)
