ABSTRACT

This study is a review for studying the working memory of children with reading disabilities in Korea. We reviewed as follows.First, we reviewed studies about reading characteristics of children with the Korean reading disabilities. Most of them implied that children with reading disabilities had a difficulty in phonological processing and rapid speed naming tasks, and Korean reading disabilities had a difficulty in working memory. It was suggested that it was important to study about working memory in Korean reading disabilities. Second, we reviewed and compared the working memeory model of Baddeley and Hitch(1974) which studies on Korean reading disabilities were based on, to the working memory model of the Baddeley(2000) which added interactivities of short-term memory, and long-term memory and episodic buffer to it. Third, we reviewed the study of Jacquemot and Scott (2006) which was focused on the relationship between phonological short-term memory and speech processing, and the studies of Burgess and Hitch (2005, 2006) which were focused on computational models of working memory with putting long-term memory into context. Finally, we reviewed studies related to the working memory and novel information processing mechanisms of children with reading disabilities.
