Explaining Variability in Retrieval Times for Addition Produced by Students with Mathematical Learning Difficulties
Hopkins, Sarah L.; Lawson, Michael J.

Predictors of retrieval times produced by students having difficulty developing a reliance on retrieval for simple addition were discovered. The findings support the notion that separate limitations operate in working memory when retrieval occurs and call into question the use of the term "retrieval deficit" to explain difficulties experienced by these students.
