Abstract
Relations among short-term auditory memory, short-term visual memory, vocabulary knowledge, and intra- and intermodal matching of trigrams were examined with multiple-regression procedures. Trait measures and four tasks were administered to 52 first graders. Multiple Rs for the auditory-visual (A-V), visualauditory (V-A), and auditory-auditory (A-A) tasks were significant ( p < .01). In A-V and A-A tasks, memory measures made the significant contribution to explaining variance in performance: In the V-A task, vocabulary made the significant contribution. Vocabulary, visual memory, and their cross product best predicted V-A task performance ( R = .62). V-A task performance best predicted reading achievement ( R = .38). Of four classification variables, only bilingualism accounted for significant variance in V-A task performance or reading achievement.
