"Working memory" is a term used to refer to the systems responsible
for the temporary storage of information during the performance of
cognitive tasks. The efficiency of working memory skills in
children may place limitations on the learning and performance of
educationally important skills such as reading, language
comprehension and arithmetic. Originally published in 1992, this
monograph considers the development of working memory skills in
children with severe learning difficulties. These children have
marked difficulties with a wide range of cognitive tasks. The
studies reported show that they also experience profound
difficulties in verbal working memory tasks. These memory problems
are associated with a failure to rehearse information within an
articulatory loop. Training the children to rehearse material is
shown to help alleviate these problems. The implications of these
studies for understanding normal memory development, and for models
of the structure of working memory and its development are
discussed. It is argued that the working memory deficits seen in
people with severe learning difficulties may contribute to their
difficulties on other cognitive tasks.
