Abstract
This study investigates whether individual differences in working memory are related to a general system and whether the predictability of working memory to academic achievement is enhanced under dynamic testing conditions. Experiment 1 correlated 11 working memory tasks with shortterm memory and achievement measures. Convergent and discriminant validity for the working memory measures was established. Although a confirmatory factor analysis supported the notion that the working memory tasks reflect 2 operations, these operations produced similar correlational patterns to achievement. Experiment 2 supported a 2-factor model under dynamic testing procedures, and those procedures contribute significant variance to reading performance

The present paper shows how the extended theory can account for results of several production experiments by Loftus, Juola and Atkinson's multiple-category experiment, Conrad's sentence-verification experiments, and several categorization experiments on the effect of semantic relatedness and typicality by Holyoak and Glass, Rips, Shoben, and Smith, and Rosch.

There was a significant growth of working memory as a function of age and children with an arithmetic disability do not have a generalized language deficit but have a specific working memory deficit in relation to processing numerical information.

Psychology and AgingAdult age differences in working memory.

Active and passive measures of short-term memory over a large segment of the adult life span were compared and it is suggested that the age differences may be due to a decrease in the flexibility with which processing changes are made.

Although age-related differences were observed on digit, word, and sentence spans as well as on recall and recognition, retention was not predicted well by scores on any of the span measures for either young or older adults in either experiment.
