Short-Term Memory, Working Memory, and Verbal Abilities: How Do They Relate?

Peer reviewed

Cantor, Judy; And Others – Intelligence, 1991

Using 49 undergraduates, short-term memory (STM) spans, STM probe-recall tasks, and complex working memory (WM) spans were studied to assess the relationships among STM, WM, and verbal ability. Results indicate that STM and WM are separate cognitive constructs, and that both STM and WM are important to verbal abilities. (SLD)

Individual Differences in Working Memory: A Model Testing and Subgroup Analysis of Learning-Disabled and Skilled Readers.

Peer reviewed

Swanson, H. Lee – Intelligence, 1993

Models of working memory were compared in 2 experiments as means of explaining variance in the comprehension of 95 skilled and 80 learning-disabled readers from grades 4 through 7. Results suggest that learning-disabled children's working memory problems are functionally related to higher order processes and not memory alone. (SLD)

The General Factor in Short-Term Memory, Intelligence, and Reaction Time.

Peer reviewed

Miller, Linda T.; Vernon, Philip A. – Intelligence, 1992

The general intelligence factor (g) was investigated using 170 university students across three batteries of ability measures: (1) a short-term memory battery; (2) the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery; and (3) a reaction time battery. Results support the notion of g and suggest short-term memory as an essential aspect of intelligence. (SLD)
