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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Hulme,Susie MacKenzie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848723628\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848723627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Psychology Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Charles Hulme","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136920006911,"sku":"9781848723627","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a1ad4f2d-6e31-4857-b975-1ac8a91e8758.jpg?v=1770165334","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/working-memory-and-severe-learning-charles-hulme-9781848723627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
