Impact of Working Memory Constraints on Speech Monitoring in Healthy Children (2013, background): “Around age 7, children begin to use the strategy of subvocal rehearsal, which allows for greater maintenance of information in the phonological store (Gathercole & Alloway, 2008).”
Aspects of working memory in L2 learning (2011, methodology): “Test performance has been strongly implicated in measures of general intelligence (Engle, Kane & Tuholsky 1999) and is included in the Wechlser IV intelligence test (Gathercole & Alloway 2008).”
Improving children's working memory and classroom performance (2010, background): “This may involve giving brief and simple task instructions, reducing the length and complexity of sentences and providing external memory aids such as number lines and useful spellings (e.g. Alloway & Gathercole, 2006; Gathercole & Alloway, 2004, 2008).”
A meta-analysis of executive functioning in dyslexia with consideration of the impact of comorbid ADHD (2019, background): “The process of learning to read is highly integrated with working memory (Gathercole & Alloway, 2008).”
Working Memory, but Not IQ, Predicts Subsequent Learning in Children with Learning Difficulties (2009, background): “In addition, facilitating the child’s use of strategies can prevent working-memory overload (see Gathercole & Alloway, 2008, for further details).”
Attentional and Executive Function Behaviours in Children with Poor Working Memory. (2008, background): “…memory problems and inattention might co-occur because the limited working memory capacity of such individuals is often inadequate to meet the storage and processing demands of everyday cognitive activities such as classroom learning activities (Gathercole & Alloway, 2008; Gathercole et al., 2006).”
Working Memory Deficits can be Overcome: Impacts of Training and Medication on Working Memory in Children with ADHD (2010, background): “These failures to handle high WM loads are likely to contribute to the slow academic learning progress of children with poor WM (Gathercole & Alloway, 2008).”
