This pattern was similar for different SLD profiles with clinical diagnoses of dyslexia and mixed disorder, but the impairments were more severe in the latter. Despite a GAI within normal range, children with SLD had difficulty with both digit span tasks, but more so for forward span. probably more of a broad test of attention and short-term memory system capacity as there. The correlation of the two spans with a General Ability Index (GAI) was similar in SLD, and smaller in magnitude than in typically developing children. Consistent with this suggestion, studies have revealed that backwards recall loads on to the same factor as working memory measures such as counting span and. Backward Components of Digit Span and Spatial Span Subtests. Our results further support the hypothesis that the intellectual difficulties of children with SLD involve working memory in the forward digit span task to a greater extent than in the backward digit span task. This study examined performance in the forward and backward digit span task of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV) in a large group of children with specific learning disorder (SLD) as compared with a group of typically developing children matched for age and sex. 0000005185 00000 n Results are discussed in terms of Canadian and American educational and test-taking experiences.
