Rethinking the connection between working memory and language impairment

Abstract

The results implicate a deficit in the phonological storage but not in the central executive component of working memory for children with LL. Teacher ratings may reveal personality traits related to perseverance of effort in cognitive research.

Evaluating Pediatric Cochlear Implant Users' Encoding, Storage, and Retrieval Strategies in Verbal Working Memory

“…The phonological loop is regularly implicated as an explanatory mechanism for short-term and working memory deficits in other populations with atypical language developmentalthough the source of impairment varies across populations. For example, children with developmental language disorder appear to have smaller phonological loops than their typically developing peers (Archibald & Harder Griebeling, 2016), and children with Down syndrome have difficulty in maintaining item order within the phonological loop (Jarrold, Cowan, Hewes, & Riby, 2004).…”

“…Supplemental Material: https://doi.org/10.23641/ asha.7849394 M any pediatric cochlear implant (CI) users struggle on short-term and working memory tasks even years after implantation (AuBuchon, Pisoni, & Kronenberger, 2015a;Dawson, Busby, McKay, & Clark, 2002). Short-term and working memory abilities are related to higher level cognitive skills, such as intelligence, reading, and math (e.g., Archibald & Harder Griebeling, 2016;Unsworth, Redick, Heitz, Broadway, & Engle, 2009). Identifying the precise nature of pediatric CI users' shortterm and working memory deficits could lead to a better understanding of factors related to long-term speech, language, and literacy outcomes, which show considerable variability and individual differences in the CI population (Geers, Strube, Tobey, Pisoni, & Moog, 2011;Niparko et al, 2010).…”

Pull the Andon Rope on Working Memory Capacity Interventions Until We Know More

“…It is well established that children with DLD perform more poorly on working memory tasks than their age-matched, typically developing (TD) peers, and in many cases, even their language-matched TD peers (Archibald, 2016;Claessen, Leitão, Kane, & Williams, 2013;Marton & Schwartz, 2003;Marton & Eichorn, 2014;Montgomery et al, 2010;Weismer et al,1999;Wong, Ho, Au, McBride, Ng, Yip, & Lam, 2017). Research consistently shows that children with DLD differ in how much linguistic information they can store, and also in their development and use of other cognitive skills and strategies related to WM efficiency.…”

Funciones ejecutivas en niños con trastorno del lenguaje: algunos antecedentes desde la neuropsicología

“…Por tanto, según los estudios revisados, como se muestra en la tabla 1, se puede indicar que la fe que más se ha relacionado con el trastorno del lenguaje es la memoria de trabajo, específicamente el componente fonológico, porque se ha demostrado que esta es la responsable del déficit en el almacenamiento fonológico que presentan los niños con trastorno del lenguaje (Archibald & Harder, 2016;Gathercole & Baddeley, 1990;Reichenbach et al, 2016). Otros estudios han demostrado, además, que el denominador común de los trastorno del lenguaje es la alteración de las fe, específicamente la memoria de trabajo fonológica y verbal a corto plazo (Crespo & Narbona, 2006;López & García, 2005).…”
