Serial-order short-term memory (STM), as opposed to item STM, has been shown to be very consistently associated with lexical learning abilities in cross-sectional study designs. This study investigated longitudinal predictions between serial-order STM and vocabulary development. Tasks maximizing the temporary retention of either serial-order or item information were administered to kindergarten children aged 4 and 5. At age 4, age 5, and from age 4 to age 5, serial-order STM capacities, but not…

The contribution of short-term memory for serial order to early reading acquisition: evidence from a longitudinal study.
Short-term memory for serial order supports vocabulary development: new evidence from a novel word learning paradigm.
The relationship of domain-general serial order memory and reading ability in school children with and without dyslexia.
Evidence for a specific impairment of serial order short-term memory in dyslexic children.
TLDR
Dyslexic children performed significantly poorer than the CA controls on the item STM measure, highlighting a severe impairment of STM for serial order information in dyslexia that cannot be reduced to a phonological processing impairment.
The involvement of long-term serial-order memory in reading development: A longitudinal study.
Order short-term memory is not impaired in dyslexia and does not affect orthographic learning
TLDR
It is concluded that serial order STM is not the right place to look for a causal explanation of reading disability, nor for differences in word reading acquisition.
Order short-term memory capacity predicts nonword reading and spelling in first and second grade
Recent theories of short-term memory (STM) distinguish between item information, which reflects the temporary activation of long-term representations stored in the language system, and serial-order…
Do serial order short-term memory and long-term learning abilities predict spelling skills in school-age children?
The Nature of Verbal Short-Term Impairment in Dyslexia: The Importance of Serial Order
TLDR
It is shown that specific serial order STM impairment is frequently reported in both dyslexic children and adults with a history of dyslexia, and appears to occur for the retention of both verbal and visuo-spatial sequence information.
The relationship between working memory for serial order and numerical development: a longitudinal study.
TLDR
This study highlights the important role of WM for order in early calculation acquisition, in addition to numerical ordinal and magnitude representations, and provides new perspectives for the understanding of the link between verbal WM and numerical abilities.
