Journal ArticleDOI

Nonword repetition: More than just a phonological output task

TL;DR: For instance, the authors showed that nonword repetition is more than just a phonological output task, and that it is a more complex task than phonology output tasks, such as word repetition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protocol for a transdiagnostic study of children with problems of attention, learning and memory (CALM).

TL;DR: A multi-systems approach to identifying the causes of learning difficulties in a heterogeneous sample of struggling learners provides a novel way to enhance the understanding of the common and complex needs of the majority of children who struggle at school.
Journal ArticleDOI

Benefit of enactment over oral repetition of verbal instruction does not require additional working memory during encoding

TL;DR: The accuracy of recalling the instructions was greater when the actions were performed than when the instructions were repeated, and this advantage was unaffected by the concurrent tasks, suggesting that the benefit of enactment over oral repetition does not cost additional working memory resources.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preventing academic difficulties in preterm children: a randomised controlled trial of an adaptive working memory training intervention – IMPRINT study

TL;DR: This study will be the first randomised controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of Cogmed in school-aged extremely preterm/extremely low birthweight children, while incorporating advanced imaging techniques to investigate neural changes associated with adaptive working memory training.
