Short-Term Memory Deficits in Reading Disabled Children, in the Absence of Opportunity for Rehearsal Strategies.

Cohen, R. L.; Netley, C.

Intelligence, v5 n1 p69-76 Jan-Mar 1981

Two groups of reading-disabled (RD) children were compared with controls (age- and IQ-matched competent readers), on a serial running memory task. RD children performed reliably worse than their controls due to an inability to encode serial items in the form of serial phonological patterns. (Author/RD)
