How working memory relates to children’s reading comprehension: the importance of domain-specificity in storage and processing

Abstract: Working memory is considered a well-established predictor of individual variation in reading comprehension in children and adults. However, how storage and processing capacities of working memory in both the phonological and semantic domain relate to reading comprehension is still unclear. In the current study, we investigated the contribution of phonological and semantic storage, and phonological and semantic processing to reading comprehension in 123 Dutch children in fifth grade. We conducted regression and… Show more

“…Although the direction of causality is unclear, working memory explains approximately 20-30% of the variance in fluid intelligence in children (6) and more than 40% of this variance in adults (7). Furthermore, working memory function, which is related to executive and visuospatial attention (8,9), short-term memory (10), and inhibitory control (11), predicts consequential outcomes in development, including reading and math skills (12)(13)(14)(15).…”

“…La memoria de trabajo, como la capacidad de almacenar y procesar información parece ser un predictor significativo de la comprensión lectora (Carretti, Borella, Cornoldi y De Beni, 2009;Nouwens, Groen y Verhoeven, 2016). Kintsch (1998) señala que la memoria de trabajo interviene tanto en la recuperación como en la integración de la información en el nivel de la palabra (recupera y mantiene el significado en el texto), de la oración (procesa y almacena las ideas) y del texto (colabora en la construcción del modelo mental acorde al significado del texto).…”

“…Aunque algunos estudios de niños con dificultades en comprensión lectora (Nation, Adams, Bowyer-Crane y Snowling, 1999) sugieren una relación entre ésta y el almacén semántico, no está claro si esta relación se confirma en niños sin problemas lectores. En este sentido, Nouwens et al (2016) investigaron la contribución de estos almacenes en relación con la comprensión lectora en 123 niños de 5º de Educación Primaria sin dificultades de comprensión. Los análisis de regresión revelaron que el almacén semántico es mejor predictor de la comprensión lectora que el fonológico.…”
