Abstract
Objective To explore the working memory of children with developmental phonological disorders.Methods 53 children meet the criteria of developmental phonological disorders at the age from 4～6 years were selected as case group,and 50 normal speaking children matched for ages were selected as control group.The working memory functions were examined with digit span test in the Wechsler child intelligence scale and related phrase tests.Results The scores of forward digit span(5.58±1.49)and backward digit span(1.87 ±1.24)in case group were much inferior to those in control group(6.30 ±1.15;2.82±0.77),P＜0.05.The scores of related phrases(4.17 ±2.06)and unrelated phrases(1.11±1.09)in case group were significantly lower than those of control group(5.90 ±1.26,3.28 ±1.21),P＜0.05.Conclusion The working memory of children with phonological disorders was much inferior to normal children,which perhaps contributed to reading disability later.
