Christina Davidson; Line Caes; Yee Lee Shing; Courtney McKay; Eva Rafetseder; Sobanawartiny Wijeakumar – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2024
Home enrichment plays an important role in shaping children's development. In the current study, we inquired whether home enrichment was associated with pre-schoolers' visual working memory (VWM) function, a critical cognitive system necessary for maintaining information for short periods of time. Home enrichment was assessed using an adapted…

Jacqueline M. Caemmerer; Stephanie Ruth Young; Danika Maddocks; Natalie R. Charamut; Eunice Blemahdoo – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2024
In order to make appropriate educational recommendations, psychologists must understand how cognitive test scores influence specific academic outcomes for students of different ability levels. We used data from the WISC-V and WIAT-III (N = 181) to examine which WISC-V Index scores predicted children's specific and broad academic skills and if…

The Role of Short-Term Memory in the Development of Logical Operations Skills. Technical Report No. 445.
Swinton, Spencer S.; And Others – 1977
The longitudinal interrelations among age, visual and auditory short-term memory, and the concrete operational tasks of class inclusion and combinatorial reasoning were investigated over four testing occasions in a sample of 134 students, initially ranging from 5 to 12 years in age. The Piagetian task battery involved placement of colored…
