| Abstract | Reviews a series of experiments that examined the role of phonological processing in short-term memory. A developmental study is described in which a significant relationship was found between phonetic processes and verbal memory span but not between phonetic processes and nonverbal memory. Additional studies found that children with reading problems were less accurate at phonetic encoding than were good readers and that performance on phonetic processing corresponded with verbal memory span. No reading group differences were found on nonverbal perception or memory tasks. Findings suggest that developmental and individual differences in verbal memory span are related to the efficiency of phonological processes. |
