Earle, F. Sayako; Del Tufo, Stephanie N.; Evans, Tanya M.; Lum, Jarrad A. G.; Cutting, Laurie E.; Ullman, Michael T. – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2020
Prior research has demonstrated that linguistic skills and knowledge contribute to successful reading acquisition. In contrast, little is known about the influence of domain-general learning abilities on reading. To investigate associations between general memory functions and reading during the early stages of learning to read, performance…

Papadopoulos, Timothy C.; Spanoudis, George; Ktisti, Christiana; Fella, Argyro – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2021
We investigated the role of linguistic and cognitive processes in reading precocity from kindergarten to grade 2. A sample of 33 precocious readers was identified that did not differ on age, gender, and parental education to a control group of 259 typical readers. The effects of verbal ability were also controlled. All children were administered a…

Mariotti, Emily C.; Fillauer, J. Parks; Martin, McKenzie; Bolden, Jennifer – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2020
Questions still exist about the interplay between foundational literacy components and budding cognitive structures that are thought to influence advanced reading abilities. Understanding interactions between executive functions (EFs) and specific early reading skills could contribute to our understanding of later reading achievement. The present…

Engel de Abreu, Pascale M. J.; Conway, Andrew R. A.; Gathercole, Susan E. – Intelligence, 2010
The present study investigates how working memory and fluid intelligence are related in young children and how these links develop over time. The major aim is to determine which aspect of the working memory system--short-term storage or cognitive control--drives the relationship with fluid intelligence. A sample of 119 children was followed from…

Okamoto, Yukari; Curtis, Reagan; Jabagchourian, John J.; Weckbacher, Lisa Marie – High Ability Studies, 2006
Two studies were conducted to explore mathematical precocity in young children. Study 1 examined mathematically gifted first and third graders' working memory development. The results showed that mathematically gifted children's working memory growth was similar to that expected of their age peers. Study 2 examined changes in mathematically gifted…
