Oscillator-based memory for serial order.
A computational model of human memory for serial order is described (OSCillator-based Associative Recall [OSCAR]). In the model, successive list items become associated to successive states of a…

Is working memory training effective? A meta-analytic review.
TLDR
It is concluded that memory training programs appear to produce short-term, specific training effects that do not generalize, and cast doubt on both the clinical relevance of working memory training Programs and their utility as methods of enhancing cognitive functioning in typically developing children and healthy adults.

Phonemes, rimes, vocabulary, and grammatical skills as foundations of early reading development: evidence from a longitudinal study.
TLDR
The authors present the results of a 2-year longitudinal study of 90 British children beginning at school entry when they were 4 years 9 months old, related to current theories about the role of phonological, grammatical, and vocabulary skills in the development of early reading skills.

Word-frequency effects on short-term memory tasks: evidence for a redintegration process in immediate serial recall.
TLDR
A model that includes a redintegration process that operates to "clean up" decayed short-term memory traces is proposed and the multinomial processing tree model described by R. Schweickert (1993) is used to provide a quantitative fit to data from Experiments 2, 3, and 4.

Concrete words are easier to recall than abstract words: Evidence for a semantic contribution to short-term serial recall.
Immediate serial recall and maximal speech rate were assessed for concrete and abstract words differing in length. Experiment 1 showed large advantages for spoken recall of concrete words that were…

Ameliorating Early Reading Failure by Integrating the Teaching of Reading and Phonological Skills: The Phonological Linkage Hypothesis
We present a longitudinal intervention study of children experiencing difficulties in the early stages of learning to read. Our subjects, 7-year-old poor readers, were divided into 4 matched groups…

Phoneme awareness is a better predictor of early reading skill than onset-rime awareness.
TLDR
Children in the early stages of learning to read were administered three different tasks and measures of phoneme awareness were the best concurrent and longitudinal predictors of reading skill with onset-rime skills making no additional predictive contribution once phonemic skills were accounted for.

The Foundations of Spelling Ability: Evidence from a 3-Year Longitudinal Study
The development of spelling skills was investigated at four points over the first 3 years of schooling in 153 British children. In order to uncover the developmental relationship between spelling and…
