Predictors of Reading and Spelling Difficulties in Italian Children: Specific Language and General Cognitive Skills
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Angela Pasqualotto; Paola Venuti – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2025
This study investigated the role of domain-specific and domain-general factors in predicting early literacy skills in Italian children. A sample of 239 first-grade students was evaluated using a broad neuropsychological battery to assess their cognitive skills. The results showed that phonological awareness, rapid automatized naming, speed of…

What Mediates the Relationship between Growth in Math Problem-Solving and Working Memory in English Language Learners?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Swanson, H. Lee; Arizmendi, Genesis D.; Li, Jui-Teng – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
This study explored the role of growth in the executive components of working memory (WM) on second language (L2) mathematical problem-solving in elementary school children who are emerging bilinguals whose first language (L1) is Spanish. To this end, children (N = 429) in Grades 1, 2, and 3 at Wave 1 were administered a battery of math, reading,…

The Development of Metacognitive Accuracy in Working Memory across Childhood
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Forsberg, Alicia; Blume, Christopher L.; Cowan, Nelson – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Growth in working memory capacity, the number of items kept active in mind, is thought to be an important aspect of childhood cognitive development. Here, we focused on participants' awareness of the contents of their working memory, or "meta-working memory," which seems important because people can put cognitive abilities to best use…

The Effects of Vocabulary Breadth and Depth on Reading Comprehension in Middle Childhood: The Mediator Role of Listening Comprehension
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Li, Liping; Zhu, Danli; Wu, Xinchun – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2021
This study investigated whether listening comprehension played a mediator role between vocabulary and reading comprehension. 127 Mandarin-speaking children were longitudinally assessed at 6;4, 6;10, 7;4, and 7;10. Data were collected in four batteries of tests implemented at the beginning of first grade (T[subscript 1]); at mid-first grade…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hubert, Blandine; Guimard, Philippe; Florin, Agnès; Tracy, Alexis – Early Education and Development, 2015
Research Findings: Several recent studies carried out in the United States and abroad (i.e., Asia and Europe) have demonstrated that the ability of young children to regulate their behavior (including inhibitory control, working memory, attentional control) significantly predicts their academic achievement. The current study examined the…

Cognition and Literacy in English Language Learners at Risk for Reading Disabilities: A Latent Transition Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Swanson, H. Lee; Kudo, Milagros; Guzman-Orth, Danielle – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
This study investigated the prevalence and stability of latent classes at risk for reading disabilities (RD) in elementary-aged children whose first language is Spanish. To this end, children (N = 489) in Grades 1, 2, and 3 at Wave 1 were administered a battery of reading, vocabulary, and cognitive measures (short-term memory [STM], working memory…
