Journal of Educational Psychology, v92 n2 p377-90 Jun 2000

A test battery was designed to test the Baddeley and Hitch model of working memory. The battery was administered to 87 children aged 6 and 7 years. Correlations between subtest scores indicated high construct validity for the central executive and phonological loop measures, although not for the visuospatial measures. (Contains 100 references and 4 tables.) (Author/GCP)
