The Contribution of Serial Order Short-Term Memory and Long-Term Learning to Reading Acquisition: A Longitudinal Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Ordonez Magro, Laura; Majerus, Steve; Attout, Lucie; Poncelet, Martine; Smalle, Eleonore H. M.; Szmalec, Arnaud – Developmental Psychology, 2020
There is increasing evidence for an association between both serial order short-term memory (STM) and the long-term learning (LTL) of serial order information and reading abilities. In this developmental study, we examined the hypothesis that STM for serial order supports online grapheme-to-phoneme conversion processes during the initial stages of…

Sasanguie, Delphine; Vos, Helene – Developmental Science, 2018
Digit comparison is strongly related to individual differences in children's arithmetic ability. Why this is the case, however, remains unclear to date. Therefore, we investigated the relative contribution of three possible cognitive mechanisms in first and second graders' digit comparison performance: digit identification, digit--number word…

Kelley, Matthew R.; Neath, Ian; Surprenant, Aimée M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Serial position functions with marked primacy and recency effects are ubiquitous in episodic memory tasks. The demonstrations reported here explored whether bow-shaped serial position functions would be observed when people ordered exemplars from various categories along a specified dimension. The categories and dimensions were: actors and age;…

Order Short-Term Memory Capacity Predicts Nonword Reading and Spelling in First and Second Grade
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Binamé, Florence; Poncelet, Martine – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2016
Recent theories of short-term memory (STM) distinguish between item information, which reflects the temporary activation of long-term representations stored in the language system, and serial-order information, which is encoded in a specific representational system that is independent of the language network. Some studies examining the…

Classification, Seriation, and Counting in Grades 1, 2, and 3 as Two-Year Longitudinal Predictors for Low Achieving in Numerical Facility and Arithmetical Achievement?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Desoete, Annemie; Stock, Pieter; Schepens, Annemie; Baeyens, Dieter; Roeyers, Herbert – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2009
Previous research stresses the importance of seriation, classification, and counting abilities that should be assessed in kindergarten, when looking for crucial predictors of mathematical learning disabilities in Grade 1. This study examines (n = 158) two-year-long predictive relationships between children's seriation, classification, procedural…

Task Values and Ability Beliefs as Predictors of High School Literacy Choices: A Developmental Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Durik, Amanda M.; Vida, Mina; Eccles, Jacquelynne S. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2005
This study examines how competence beliefs and task values predict high school achievement choices related to literacy. Students' task beliefs (self-concept of ability, intrinsic value, and importance) about reading in the 4th grade and English in the 10th grade were tracked over time. Task beliefs, school performance, and gender were used to…
