Direct linkAslan, Alp; Bäuml, Karl-Heinz T. – Developmental Science, 2016
In adults, testing can enhance subsequent learning by reducing interference from the tested information. Here, we examined this forward effect of testing in children. Younger and older elementary school children and adult controls studied four lists of items in anticipation of a final cumulative recall test. Following presentation of each of the…

Swanson, H. Lee; Kong, Jennifer; Petcu, Stefania – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2018
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine those components of working memory (WM) that play a significant role in predicting math growth in children who are English language learners (N = 157) with serious math difficulties (MD). Method: A battery of tests was administered in English and Spanish that assessed computation, reading,…

Zhang, Dake; Ding, Yi; Stegall, Joanna; Mo, Lei – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2012
Students who struggle with learning mathematics often have difficulties with geometry problem solving, which requires strong visual imagery skills. These difficulties have been correlated with deficiencies in visual working memory. Cognitive psychology has shown that chunking of visual items accommodates students' working memory deficits. This…

A study investigated the effects of test anxiety, as measured by the Test Anxiety Scale for Children (TASC), on memory processes in problem solving and the extent to which memory support reduced this effect. Two experiments were performed on 40 and 96 subjects respectively, from grades 5 and 6. Each experiment utilized a factoral design involving…

Sampson, Demetrios G., Ed.; Ifenthaler, Dirk, Ed.; Isaías, Pedro, Ed. – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2018
The aim of the 2018 International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age (CELDA) conference was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There have been advances in both cognitive…

Peer reviewedLilly, M. Stephen; Kelleher, John – Journal of Special Education, 1973
Fifty-seven learning disabled or emotionally disturbed students, 8- to 12-years-old, IQ, 80-129, were given a visual and an auditory memory test to obtain reliability data on the two tests, and to determine the relationship of the tests to the children's reading and listening behavior. (MC)

Hansson, K.; Forsberg, J.; Lofqvist, A.; Maki-Torkko, E.; Sahlen, B. – International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders, 2004
Background: Working memory is considered to influence a range of linguistic skills, i.e. vocabulary acquisition, sentence comprehension and reading. Several studies have pointed to limitations of working memory in children with specific language impairment. Few studies, however, have explored the role of working memory for language deficits in…

Swanson, H. Lee – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2006
Cross-sectional and incremental age effects on cognitive processes that underlie individual differences in components of working memory (WM; phonological loop, visual-spatial sketchpad, executive processing) and mathematical problem-solving accuracy were examined in elementary school children. A battery of tests was administered that assessed…
