Item Identification Speed and Memory Span Performance in Learning Disabled Children.

Lorsbach, Thomas C.; Gray, Jeffrey W.

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v11 n1 p68-78 Jan 1986

The current study attempted to further clarify the relationship between speed and span by directly examining whether slower identification of item information is the source of memory span difficulties in learning disabled children. Results indicated that span performance varied directly with naming speed. (Author/LMO)
