The Feasibility of Working Memory Tablet Tasks in Predicting Scholastic Skills in Classroom Settings
Kanerva, Kaisa; Kiistala, Ilkka; Kalakoski, Virpi; Hirvonen, Riikka; Ahonen, Timo; Kiuru, Noona – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2019
Cognitive assessment in natural group settings facilitates data collection but poses threats to the validity. In this study, tablet-based working memory (WM) tasks, the counting span, and reading span were used in predicting 12-year-old children's (N = 837) scholastic skills and fluid intelligence in a classroom with environmental noise. WM tasks…

Redick, Thomas S.; Calvo, Alejandra; Gay, Catherine E.; Engle, Randall W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
The ability to temporarily maintain information in order to successfully perform a task is important in many daily activities. However, the ability to quickly and accurately update existing mental representations in distracting situations is also imperative in many of these same circumstances. In the current studies, individuals varying in working…

Brunner, Martin – Learning and Individual Differences, 2008
This study investigates the relationships of domain-general cognitive abilities and domain-specific verbal and mathematical abilities to students' educational characteristics when two theoretically grounded, but competing structural models are applied. In the standard model, a single latent ability causes interindividual differences in the…

Byrnes, James P. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1995
Delineates the current consensus regarding the nature and the development of intellectual ability. Examines when one would expect general abilities to moderate the relationship among domain-specific and other processes. Reviews recent studies in which general abilities were used as independent variables or covariates. Suggests that generally,…

Schneider, Wolfgang; Wolke, Dieter; Schlagmuller, Matthias; Meyer, Renate – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2004
Individual differences in academic success were investigated in a geographically defined whole-population sample of very preterm children with a gestational age of less than 32 weeks or a birth weight of less than 1500 gm. The sample consisted of 264 very preterm children (75.6% of German-speaking survivors) and 264 controls matched for gender,…
