Abstract

Working memory (WM) has been consistently linked to reading. However, the mechanism(s) linking WM to reading remain unclear. WM may indirectly exert an effect onto reading through mediators such as phonemic awareness (PA) and/or rapid automatized naming (RAN). In a sample of children with reading difficulty (n = 117), separate mediation analyses tested direct and indirect (through PA and RAN) effects of WM on untimed word decoding and recognition (i.e., basic reading skills) and timed word decoding and recognition (i.e., reading fluency). WM exerted a direct effect on basic reading skills and reading fluency. For basic reading skills, there was a significant indirect effect of WM on reading through the mediation of PA (but not through RAN). By contrast, for reading fluency, there was a significant indirect effect of WM on reading through the mediation of RAN (but not through PA). Findings reinforce the importance of WM, PA, and RAN for broad reading skills, while offering a mechanistic explanation for why poor PA and/or RAN may differentially lead to reading difficulty.

阅读困难儿童工作记忆与阅读的中介:音位意识和快速自动命名的作用。
工作记忆(WM)一直与阅读有关。然而,工作记忆与阅读之间的联系机制仍不清楚。工作记忆可能通过音位意识(PA)和/或快速自动命名(RAN)等中介因素间接对阅读产生影响。在一个有阅读困难的儿童样本(n = 117)中,分别进行了中介分析,测试了 WM 对非定时单词解码和识别(即基本阅读技能)以及定时单词解码和识别(即阅读流畅性)的直接和间接(通过 PA 和 RAN)影响。WM 对基本阅读技能和阅读流畅性有直接影响。在基本阅读技能方面,通过 PA 的中介作用(而不是通过 RAN),WM 对阅读有显著的间接影响。相比之下,在阅读流畅性方面,WM 通过 RAN(而不是 PA)的中介作用对阅读产生了显著的间接影响。研究结果加强了 WM、PA 和 RAN 对广泛阅读技能的重要性,同时也从机制上解释了为什么 PA 和/或 RAN 差会导致不同的阅读困难。

期刊介绍: DYSLEXIA provides reviews and reports of research, assessment and intervention practice. In many fields of enquiry theoretical advances often occur in response to practical needs; and a central aim of the journal is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of dyslexia, so that each can learn from the other. Interesting developments, both theoretical and practical, are being reported in many different countries: DYSLEXIA is a forum in which a knowledge of these developments can be shared by readers in all parts of the world. The scope of the journal includes relevant aspects of Cognitive, Educational, Developmental and Clinical Psychology Child and Adult Special Education and Remedial Education Therapy and Counselling Neuroscience, Psychiatry and General Medicine The scope of the journal includes relevant aspects of: - Cognitive, Educational, Developmental and Clinical Psychology - Child and Adult Special Education and Remedial Education - Therapy and Counselling - Neuroscience, Psychiatry and General Medicine
