Phonological Memory and Vocabulary Development during the Early School Years: A Longitudinal Study.

Gathercole, Susan E.; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v28 n5 p887-98 Sep 1992

Measures of vocabulary, phonological memory, nonverbal intelligence, and reading were taken from 80 children at ages 4, 5, 6, and 8 years. Comparisons revealed a significant shift in the causal underpinnings of the relationship between phonological memory and vocabulary development before and after age five. (Author/LB)
