The Role of Executive Functions in Reading Comprehension (2017, background): “…span tasks can distinguish skilled and less-skilled comprehenders (Pelegrina et al. 2014), whereas performance on visuospatial span tasks does not (Pimperton and Nation 2010), indicating that inhibitory deficits that constrain updating, and working memory more generally, could be specific to the…”
Children’s reading difficulties, language, and reflections on the simple view of reading (2019, background): “For example, Pimperton and Nation (2010) found that poor comprehenders showed more interference in working memory, but only for verbal materials; when the task switched to the visuo-spatial domain, the poor comprehenders were indistinguishable from their peers.”
