Peer reviewedGillam, Ronald B.; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1995
This study of sequential memory in 16 children with language impairment found that list-final suffix effect was substantially larger than in control children, even though other aspects of their recall were normal. Children with language impairment were more dependent upon unanalyzed acoustic and phonetic representations of speech. Response…

Peer reviewedSussman, Joan E. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1993
Discrimination and phonetic identification abilities of children (ages 5-6) with language impairments were compared to those of normally developing 4-year-olds and previous findings on children and adults. Results support hypotheses suggesting disorders in the phonological component of working memory in children with language impairments and the…

Gunnison, J. – 1983
Current research on information processing suggests that short term memory plays a central role in the sorting and manipulation of text information during reading. Because an entire text cannot be processed simultaneously, successive "chunks" or units of information enter the short term memory where they are compared to the reader's previous…

Subjects were 141 children ages 4-5 at the beginning of the study, divided into a control group, a low…

Foley, Mary Ann; Foley, Hugh J. – 1985
Two criteria for the automatic encoding of learning, instructional manipulation, and stimulus characteristics were studied in subjects who judged the frequency of occurrence of words, letters, and nonwords. In Experiment 1, six word lists were constructed with varying frequency of alphabet letters. A variety of instructions were presented (whether…
