Working Memory and Learning in Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder and Specific Language Impairment
Abstract
The authors compared 6- to 11-year-olds with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and those with specific language impairment (SLI) on measures of memory (verbal and visuospatial short-term and working memory) and learning (reading and mathematics). Children with DCD with typical language skills were impaired in all four areas of memory function for their age level, and this pattern was also found to be characteristic of a larger DCD group with varied language abilities. SLI-group deficits in standard scores were observed for the verbal versions of the short-term and working memory tasks only. There were also differential links between memory and attainment between the two groups, with visuospatial working memory strongly related to numeracy in the SLI group and all of the memory measures correlated with at least one attainment measure in the DCD group. Reasons for why working memory contributes to learning in these two developmental groups are discussed.

“In the present study, we used Baddeley and Hitch’s (1974) model of working memory (see also Baddeley, 2000), which is widely used in both developmental and adult samples (e.g., Alloway, Gathercole, Willis & Adams, 2004; Baddeley, 1996).”

“As with other atypical populations, such as children with poor reading comprehension (Swanson & Berninger, 1995) and children with persistent learning difficulties (Gathercole et al., 2006), it may be that the learning difficulties of children with DCD are associated with working memory impairments.”

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.
