Berg, Derek H. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2008
The cognitive underpinnings of arithmetic calculation in children are noted to involve working memory; however, cognitive processes related to arithmetic calculation and working memory suggest that this relationship is more complex than stated previously. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the relative contributions of processing…

Siegel, Linda S.; Linder, Bruce A. – Developmental Psychology, 1984
Compares performance of 172 children aged 7 to 13 years on tasks involving visual or auditory presentation of rhyming and nonrhyming letters and an oral or written response. Results indicate insensitivity to phonological similarity for young children with disabilities; sensitivity improves with age, but deficits in short-term memory remain at…

Arithmetic Calculation, Short-Term Memory, and Language Performance in Children with Specific Language Impairment: A 5-Year Follow-Up.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fazio, Barbara B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1999
A five-year follow-up of arithmetic calculation abilities of 10 low-income fourth graders with specific language impairment (SLI) involved comparisons with typically developing same age peers and with typically developing younger subjects. Results support evidence that children with SLI have difficulty with rote memory and document the…
