Working Memory Impairments in Children with Specific Arithmetic Learning Difficulties.
McLean, Janet F.; Hitch, Graham J.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v74 n3 p240-60 Nov 1999

Found deficits in executive and spatial aspects of working memory that seem likely to be important factors in poor arithmetical attainment. (EV)
