Article 10th (Letter Updating is Related to Reading Fluency But Not Comprehension)



Working memory (WM) is a system intended for temporary maintenance and manipulation of information, and its capacity increases dramatically during the development of children. It has been shown consistently that verbal WM, in particular, is related to the development of reading skills; i.e, understanding and reading of individual words. In this study, they aim to investigate the relationship between reading ability and reading in children with typical development. In particular, the WM update task is complex. Updating is the process of coding and monitoring relevant information and then revising the items in WM by replacing old ones with newer information. Therefore, it seems theoretically important to investigate how updating processes can be linked to different reading skills, in particular to develop more accurate measurements of their construction and relationships. To do so, they briefly outline the skill of reading skill.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between renewal and reading ability of WM in a group of typically developing children. Updating requires maintenance of information relevant to the objectives and control of irrelevant details, most of the working memory update tasks check this function by using materials containing semantic coding. In particular, here they focus on two levels of readability: fluency / decoding and comprehension. Overall, the results indicate a specific relationship between the smooth reading and updating of WM modulated by material similarity across tasks, and discussed with reference to the relevant literature in the field.
