本研究比较了6-11岁的发展性协调障碍（DCD）和中度学习困难（MLD）的记忆（言语短期记忆和工作记忆，视觉空间短期记忆和工作记忆），读写能力和计算能力以及智商。研究结果表明，患有DCD的儿童似乎在记忆功能的所有四个方面都受到损害;特别是他们在言语短期记忆，视觉空间短期记忆和工作记忆方面的表现明显低于MLD儿童。相比之下，MLD儿童在记忆测量中的表现在年龄预期的水平内，仅在言语工作记忆任务中观察到缺陷。两组人的记忆力和成就之间也存在着不同的联系，即使在统计上考虑了智商的贡献之后，这些联系也是显著的。为什么工作记忆有助于这两个发展组的学习的原因进行了讨论。版权所有（c）2006约翰威利父子有限公司。
The present study compared 6-11 years old with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and those with moderate learning difficulties (MLD) on measures of memory (verbal short-term and working memory, visuo-spatial short-term and working memory), literacy and numeracy, and IQ. The findings indicate that children with DCD appear to be impaired in all four areas of memory function; in particular they performed at significantly lower levels than children with MLD in measures of verbal short-term memory, visuo-spatial short-term and working memory. In contrast, performance of children with MLD in the memory measures was within age-expected levels, with deficits observed only in verbal working memory tasks. There were also differential links between memory and attainment between the two groups, and these were significant even after statistically accounting for the contribution of IQ. Reasons for why working memory contributes to learning in these two developmental groups are discussed. Copyright (c) 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
