Children's working memory: Its structure and relationship to fluid intelligence (2011, methodology): “Even though, STM and WM refer to theoretically distinct concepts, usually assessed separately, both concepts are measured by tasks that tap short-term storage, and non-storage processes such as executive attention control and domain-specific skills and strategies to some extent (Conway et al., 2003;”
