The relationship between working memory and mathematical problem-solving in children with and without learning disabilities
- "To address these issues, the relationship between the WM skills and mathematical problem solving performance of students with and without learning disabilities was analyzed. A reading level design was employed wherein 31 fifth and sixth grade students with learning disabilities (LD), 47 fifth and sixth grade students without learning disabilities (CA), and 30 reading level control students without learning disabilities (RL) were assessed on WM and word problem solving tasks. Correlational and multivariate approaches were used to analyze the data."
- "Significant ability group differences emerged on all measures. LD children were inferior to age-matched controls, but their performance was statistically comparable to that of reading level controls on most measures. Significant correlations were obtained between problem solution accuracy and WM in children without LD, but not in children with LD. Finally, scores from WM tasks were predictive of problem solving performance for the combined sample after the influences of academic skill and other cognitive processes were partialed out. Both verbal and visual-spatial WM were predictive of problem solution accuracy in the RL group, but only visual-spatial WM explained the performance of subjects in the CA group. Neither verbal nor visual-spatial WM were predictive of problem solution accuracy for LD subjects."
- "The purpose of this investigation was to explore the relationship between working memory (WM) and mathematical problem solving in children with and without learning disabilities (LD). Of interest was whether individual differences in verbal and visual-spatial WM contribute to the problem solving performance of 5th and 6th grade children with LD. Another goal was to determine whether WM is predictive of problem solving scores after the influence of basic skills and/or lower order cognitive processes are partialed out."
