Is the Phonological Loop Responsible for Intelligence-Related Differences in Forward Digit Span?

Conners, Frances A.; Carr, Michael D.; Willis, Sandra

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v103 n1 p1-11 Jul 1998

Thirty children with mild mental retardation were compared with 30 children of the same age and 26 children matched for verbal age without mental retardation on a forward digit span task. The highly significant group difference was reduced to nonsignificance when a measure of central executive functioning was covaried out. (Author/CR)
