使用认知方法来细分短期记忆的不同功能方面，设计了一种测试电池，以利用A.D.巴德利和G.希奇(1974)的工作记忆模型。对87名6岁和7岁的儿童进行了电池测试；同时对其中一组儿童和一年后的儿童进行了其他标准化的成绩测量。分测验分数之间的相关性表明，中央执行和语音环路测量的结构效度很高，尽管视觉空间测量不是这样。中央执行分数与词汇、识字和算术测试的表现有独特的联系，而语音循环分数只与词汇知识有特定的联系。该测试电池具有良好的内部和外部效度，适用于指导工作记忆功能的详细理论分析。
Using cognitive methods to fractionate functionally distinct aspects of short-term memory, a test battery was designed to tap the A. D. Baddeley and G. Hitch (1974) model of working memory. The battery was administered to 87 children aged 6 and 7 years; other standardized attainment measures were obtained for a subgroup of the children concurrently and 1 year later. Correlations between subtest scores indicated high construct validity for the central executive and phonological loop measures, although not for the visuospatial measures. Central executive scores shared unique associations with performance on the vocabulary, literacy, and arithmetic tests, whereas phonological loop scores shared specific associations with vocabulary knowledge only. The substantial internal and external validity of the test battery establishes its suitability for guiding detailed theoretical analyses of working memory function.
