The Associations between Mathematical Skills, Cognitive Performance, and Language Background in Elementary School Children. A Two-Year Follow-Up Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Tanja Linnavalli; Pinja Jylänki; Julia Kainulainen; Mari Tervaniemi; Minna Törmänen – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2025
Early mathematical skills contribute to later school performance and socio-economic status. Working memory is related to mathematical skills, but spatial and language skills have independent effects on separate areas of mathematical skills such as solving word problems or arithmetic skills. In this study, 9- to 10-year-old children's (N = 57)…

How Does Working Memory Affect Learning? The Interrelationship among Working Memory, Language Learning, and Mathematical Achievement
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Aysegül Okay; Gülay Cedden – International Journal of School & Educational Psychology, 2025
This study investigates the relationship among working memory (WM), mathematics, and language, with the aim of understanding: (1) whether the functions and capacities of WM components can predict achievement in language and mathematics; and (2) whether competence in the first language (L1) and achievement in mathematics can predict success in…

Investigating the Contribution of L1 Fluency, L2 Initial Fluency, Working Memory and Phonological Memory to L2 Fluency Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Nancy Gagné; Leif M. French; Kirsten M. Hummel – Language Teaching Research, 2025
Within the same learning context, learners' outcomes in terms of oral fluency vary greatly. This study tracked the relative contributions that first language (L1) and initial second language (L2) fluency skill and working memory (WM) made to L2 fluency development. We assessed the performance of French-speaking Grade 6 learners' (n = 47, mean age:…

From One Language to the Other: Examining the Role of Code-Switching on Vocabulary Learning in Adult Second-Language Learners
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Blair, Mackensie; Morini, Giovanna – Second Language Research, 2023
The present work examines the impact of code-switching (CS) on novel word learning in adult second language (L2) learners of Spanish. Participants completed two sessions (1-3 days apart). In the first session, they were taught 32 nonwords corresponding to novel creatures. Training occurred across 4 conditions: (1) a sentence in English only, (2) a…

The Phonological Loop and Dual Language Learning: Do Growth Differences Exist across Languages?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Arizmendi, Genesis D.; Asencio Pimentel, Monica F.; Li, Jui-Teng; Swanson, H. Lee – Bilingual Research Journal, 2023
The phonological loop of the working memory system plays a key role in language learning. This study examined the trajectories between two dual-language learner groups (English Learners [ELs] and Spanish Learners [SLs]) on phonological loop measures in L1 and L2. At Grade 1, children completed a battery of vocabulary and cognitive measures and…

Phonological Awareness Deficits in Children with Dyslexia: The Impact of Working Memory as a Function of Modality of Test Administration
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Smail, Layes; Sana, Tibi; Yamina, Bouakkaz; Rebai, Mohamed – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2022
This study examined whether the phonological awareness (PA) deficit in Arabic speaking dyslexic children could be impacted by the presence vs. absence of verbal working memory (WM) as function of the sensory modality of administration (auditory vs. visual) of the phonological tests. Three phonological awareness (PA) tasks, i.e., phoneme…
