Individual Differences in Working Memory: A Model Testing and Subgroup Analysis of Learning-Disabled and Skilled Readers.

Swanson, H. Lee

Intelligence, v17 n3 p285-332 Jul-Sep 1993

Models of working memory were compared in 2 experiments as means of explaining variance in the comprehension of 95 skilled and 80 learning-disabled readers from grades 4 through 7. Results suggest that learning-disabled children's working memory problems are functionally related to higher order processes and not memory alone. (SLD)
