Objectives:

The aim was to investigate the mediating role of processing speed in the relationship between working memory and fluid reasoning in children with a reading disorder (dyslexia).

Methods:

A descriptive-correlational method was employed. A group of 300 students from inclusive schools in Mecca were selected by convenience sampling from among students who were diagnosed as having dyslexia. To collect data, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale and the Arabic Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale were used.

Results:

Working memory has a significant relationship with fluid reasoning. Results showed a significant relationship between working memory and fluid reasoning, but the mediating role of processing speed in the relationship between fluid reasoning and working memory in children with dyslexia was not confirmed.

Conclusion:

The findings of the present study show that only 52% of the changes in the fluid reasoning variable are influenced by processing speed and working memory, and the mediating role of processing speed in the relationship between fluid reasoning and working memory in children with dyslexia was rejected.

Information Processing Approach

Information Processing Approach

The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Language and Cognition

Language and Cognition

Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Learning Disabilities

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Working Memory

Working Memory

Working memory refers to a combination of components, including short-term memory and attention, that allow an individual to hold information temporarily as we perform cognitive tasks. It is an essential cognitive function that enables the execution of complex tasks such as problem-solving, comprehension, and reasoning. Unlike short-term memory, which simply involves the storage of information for a brief period, working memory involves the active manipulation and processing of this...
