Generality and Modifiability of Working Memory among Skilled and Less Skilled Readers.
Swanson, H. Lee
Journal of Educational Psychology, v84 n4 p473-88 Dec 1992
Two experiments involving 227 children aged 5 to 18 years suggest that working memory operates as a general system independent of the subject's reading skill and that dynamic testing procedures enhance predictions of reading performance. Individual differences in working memory do not appear restricted to an academic domain. (SLD)
