Working memory, short-term memory, speech rate, word recognition and reading comprehension in learning disabled readers: does the executive system have a role?11The research was supported by Peloy Endowment Funds awarded by the first author. This work is truly a collaborative endeavor. First authorship primarily reflects responsibility for write-up and data analysis and second authorship reflects data collection. Data was collected by the second author in the Redlands Unified School District. The authors are thankful to staff at the Redlands School District and for the comments of Jerry Carlson, Richard Eyman, Kathy Wilson, Carole Lee, Randy Engle, and the two reviewers of this journal on an earlier draft.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
