Working Memory Deficits of Reading Disabled Children.
de Jong, Peter F.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v70 n2 p75-96 Aug 1998
Investigated the specificity of reading-disabled children's deficits in working memory capacity. Found that reading-disabled 10-year-olds performed worse than normal-reading children, matched for chronological age and reading age, on all measures of working memory capacity. Their poorer performance seemed to be due to a general lack of capacity for the concurrent processing and storage of verbal information. (KB)
