Individual Differences in Children's Working Memory and Writing Skill.
Swanson, H. Lee; Berninger, Virginia W.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v63 n2 p358-85 Nov 1996
Examined whether writing and working memory (WM) were related to general or process-specific system, whether WM tasks operated independently of phonological short-term memory (STM), and whether WM predicted writing variance beyond that predicted by reading. Found a four-factor model reflecting phonological STM, verbal WM span, executive processing, and visual-spatial WM span best fit the multivariate dataset. (KDFB)
