Working Memory Spans as Predictors of Word Recognition and Receptive Vocabulary in Children with Cochlear Implants.

Cleary, Miranda; Pisoni, David B.; Kirk, Karen Iler

Volta Review, v102 n4 p259-80 2000

A study investigated whether differences in working memory could account for variance in word recognition and receptive vocabulary skills of children (ages 5-16) using oral communication (n=32) and total communication (n=29). A contribution from working memory was observed only for the span tasks that incorporated an auditory processing component. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
