Working memory in word reading

Abstract

Literature has documented that working memory (WM) is one of the best predictors of literacy and word reading by children and adults. This chapter summarizes some of previous studies on word reading from the perspective of two distinctive modalities in the Baddeley’s multicomponent WM model (i.e., phonological and visuospatial aspects), reviews recent studies on WM in Chinese word reading, and suggests issues that can be further explored in WM and word reading.
