Peeters, Marieke; Verhoeven, Ludo; de Moor, Jan – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2009
The goal of the present study was to examine the precursors of verbal working memory in 52 children with cerebral palsy with varying degrees of speech impairments in the first grade of special education. Following Baddeley's model of working memory, children's verbal working memory was measured by means of a forced-recognition task. As precursors…
