On the Association between Phonological Memory and Receptive Vocabulary in Five-Year Olds.
Bowey, Judith A.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v63 n1 p44-78 Oct 1996
Contrasts the hypothesis that phonological memory, but not phonological sensitivity, accounts for significant variation in young children's receptive vocabulary. Presents the view that both phonological memory and sensitivity are manifestations of a latent phonological processing ability. Suggests that with age and performance IQ effects controlled, phonological memory was no more strongly associated with receptive vocabulary than was phonological sensitivity. (AA)
