Learning-Disabled Readers' Working Memory as a Function of Processing Demands.
Swanson, H. Lee; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v61 n3 p242-75 Apr 1996
Investigated whether limitations in the enhancement of learning-disabled readers' working memory (WM) performance are attributable to process or storage functions. Found that: intercorrelations among diverse WP measures increased on demanding conditions; and verbal WM was not directly related to reading skill, supporting the notion that poor performance on demanding conditions reflects constraints in a central executive storage system.
