Laasonen, Marja; Virsu, Veijo; Oinonen, Suvi; Sandbacka, Mirja; Salakari, Anita; Service, Elisabet – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2012
We investigated whether poor short-term memory (STM) in developmental dyslexia affects the processing of sensory stimulus sequences in addition to phonological material. STM for brief binary non-verbal stimuli (light flashes, tone bursts, finger touches, and their crossmodal combinations) was studied in 20 Finnish adults with dyslexia and 24…

Short-Term Memory and Working Memory Operations and Their Contribution to Reading in Adolescents with and without Learning Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ashbaker, Margaret Howell; Swanson, H. Lee – Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, 1996
This investigation explored the relationship between short-term memory (STM), working memory (WM), and reading proficiency among adolescents (n=30) with learning disabilities. Results suggest that reading models which focus on STM or WM in isolation do not adequately capture the reading performance of the students. Models that coordinate STM and…

Serial Recall and Nonword Repetition in Reading Disabled Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Roodenrys, Steven; Stokes, Julie – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2001
Examines the performance on verbal short-term memory tasks of specifically reading disabled children relative to reading-age matched and chronological-age matched control groups. Examines memory span for words, highly wordlike nonwords and less wordlike nonwords, speech rates for these items, and nonword repetition. Suggests that there is a…

Short-Term Memory Overload during Reading.
Wisher, Robert A. – 1977
This study examines the stages of information processing during a single eye fixation, by overloading or disrupting short-term memory. Ten navy enlistees identified tones that were emitted at sporadic times, while they read general-interest passages through an eye view monitor. Each trial ended with a ten-item test to ensure that all subjects…

Development of Auditory Saltation and Its Relationship to Reading and Phonological Processing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Kidd, Joanna C.; Hogben, John H. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
Purpose: The temporal offset of auditory saltation is thought to be reflective of the limits of temporal resolution, and has recently been used to compare dyslexic and control adults and children, with mixed results (R. Hari & P. Kiesila, 1996; M. Kronbichler, F. Hutzler, & H. Wimmer, 2002). This study sought to document and understand normative…

Winn, William; Berninger, Virginia; Richards, Todd; Aylward, Elizabeth; Stock, Pat; Lee, Yen-Ling; Lovitt, Dan – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2006
Two groups of twelve dyslexic children and twelve good readers attended a two-week class during the summer following their enrollment in grades 4-6. The topic was the marine environment and focused on the adventures of an orca whale that had lost its family and needed the children's help. The children attended class for three hours each day, 45…
