Short-term memory problems for phonemes' serial order in adults with dyslexia Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven Universiteit Hasselt
Many studies show that poor readers make more errors in nonword repetition than better readers. Although this finding is generally linked to the lower quality of poor readers' phonological representations in verbal short-term memory, the nature of this poor performance remains unclear. We addressed this issue by focusing on two types of phoneme-related performance in a nonword repetition task: (a) recall of phonemes irrespective of their serial ...
Item and serial order retention in phonological short-term memory representations in relation to reading performance KU Leuven
This thesis focuses on item and serial order retention in verbal short-term memory (STM) of monolingual good and poor readers and typically developing bilingual children learning to read in a second language. One of the leading cognitive theories of dyslexia, i.e., the phonological deficit theory, postulates that individuals with dyslexia and poor readers have specific problems in the representation, storage, and/or retrieval of (a sequence of) ...
Do serial order short-term memory and long-term learning abilities predict spelling skills in school-aged children? Universiteit Gent
The contribution of serial order short-term memory and long-term learning to reading acquisition : a longitudinal study Universiteit Gent
Poor performance on the retention of phonemes’ serial order in short-term memory reflects young children’s poor reading skills KU Leuven Universiteit Antwerpen
The present study aimed to identify crucial factors that underlie phonological representations in short-term memory (STM) of third-graders with different literacy skills. For this purpose, we used the Nonword Repetition Task (NRT) to disentangle the processing of phonemes’ identity and their serial order. We found no evidence that children’s literacy skills are linked to their capacity for retaining phonemes’ identity. However, their literacy ...
Literacy improves short-term serial recall of spoken verbal but not visuospatial items : evidence from illiterate and literate adults Universiteit Gent
Order short-term memory is not impaired in dyslexia and does not affect orthographic learning Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This article reports two studies that investigate short-term memory (STM) deficits in dyslexic children and explores the relationship between STM and reading acquisition. In the first experiment, 36 dyslexic children and 61 control children performed an item STM task and a serial order STM task. The results of this experiment show that dyslexic children do not suffer from a specific serial order STM deficit. In addition, the results demonstrate ...
Associations of habitual sedentary time with executive functioning and short-term memory in 7th and 8th grade adolescents Universiteit Gent Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BackgroundWhile there is increasing evidence for negative physical health consequences of high volumes of sedentary time and prolonged sedentary time in adolescents, the association with cognition is less clear. This study investigated the association of volumes of habitual sedentary time and prolonged sedentary time with executive functions and short-term memory in adolescents.MethodsThis study has a cross-sectional observational study design. ...
