AI Article Synopsis
- - ADHD and reading disability (RD) commonly occur together, but their relationship, especially in the context of Chinese reading, is not fully understood.
- - Two experiments with Chinese children aged 7 to 12 assessed phonological encoding and rehearsal through recognition tests, revealing that both RD-only and comorbid groups performed worse than controls.
- - The findings suggest that phonological loop deficits in children with both ADHD and RD stem from RD rather than ADHD, emphasizing the importance of phonological loop function in differentiating between the two conditions.
Article Abstract
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and reading disability (RD) often co-occur. Impairments in the phonological loop of working memory are central to RD, but it is unclear whether this is linked to ADHD, especially in Chinese reading. Two experiments were conducted with Chinese children aged 7 to 12 (Experiment 1, = 65; Experiment 2, = 60). Immediate and delayed recognition paradigms were used to assess phonological encoding and rehearsal. Both the RD-only and comorbid (ADHD + RD) groups performed worse than the control and ADHD-only groups in response time and accuracy. Notably, the comorbid group performed similarly to the RD-only group, indicating that phonological loop deficits in comorbid children are likely due to RD, not ADHD. This highlights phonological loop function as the key to distinguishing between ADHD and RD.

Working memory multicomponent model outcomes in individuals with traumatic brain injury: Critical review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) often leads to cognitive impairments, particularly regarding working memory (WM). This meta-analysis aims to examine the impact of TBI on WM, taking into account moderating factors which has received little attention in previous research, such as severity of injury, the different domains of Baddeley's multi-component model, and the interaction between these two factors, as well as the interaction with other domains of executive functions.
Method: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines, a systematic review and meta-analysis searched Google Scholar, PubMed, and PsycNET for studies with objective WM measures.
Association between working memory performance and parent and teacher ratings of working memory in 11-year-old children born preterm.

Working memory (WM) difficulties are often observed in children born preterm. We examined whether performance-based measures of WM components are associated with parent- and teacher-rated WM difficulties in the everyday life of children born very preterm and/or at very low birth weight (VPT/VLBW) at 11 years ( = 165). The WM components as defined in the original Baddeley's model - phonological loop (PL), visuospatial sketchpad (VS), and central executive (CE) - were assessed with tasks from the Working Memory Test Battery for Children (WMTB-C) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - Fourth edition (WISC-IV).

Article Synopsis
- Barrouillet et al. proposed that working memory has two maintenance systems: an articulatory loop and an attentional executive loop, and found that effectively using these systems can significantly improve recall performance.
- They created the maxispan procedure, where participants rehearse a limited number of items aloud, which enhances recall and eliminates the phonological similarity effect (PSE).
- Experiments confirmed that if too many items are rehearsed, the articulatory loop becomes overloaded, leading to confusion in recalling similar-sounding items, and the PSE reappears.

Verification of the effectiveness of motor imagery (MI) has mainly focused on the method of implementing MI, and few studies have assessed individual factors. This study examined the individual differences in MI effects from the viewpoint of the multiple components of working memory. Forty-six healthy subjects (mean age 20.
