本研究探讨了4 - 11岁儿童的言语和视觉空间短时记忆和工作记忆的结构。测量4个不同的记忆成分的多个任务被用来捕获工作记忆的认知过程。验证性因素分析表明，工作记忆任务的处理组件是由一个共同的资源池，而存储方面取决于特定领域的口头和视觉空间资源的支持。这个模型在整个发展时期基本上是稳定的，尽管有证据表明，特定领域的视觉空间结构和领域一般处理结构之间的联系在4至6岁的年龄组更高。这些数据还表明，所有工作记忆的组成部分在4岁时都已经就位。
This study explored the structure of verbal and visuospatial short-term and working memory in children between ages 4 and 11 years. Multiple tasks measuring 4 different memory components were used to capture the cognitive processes underlying working memory. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the processing component of working memory tasks was supported by a common resource pool, while storage aspects depend on domain-specific verbal and visuospatial resources. This model is largely stable across this developmental period, although some evidence exists that the links between the domain-specific visuospatial construct and the domain-general processing construct were higher in the 4- to- 6-year age group. The data also suggest that all working memory components are in place by 4 years of age.
