Visuo-spatial working memory was investigated in a group of 37 children aged between 10 and 14 years with low visuo-spatial intelligence.

Abstract
Visuo-spatial working memory was investigated in a group of 37 children aged between 10 and 14 years with low visuo-spatial intelligence. Their performance was poorer than that of a matched control group on a series of tests devised to ascertain visuo-spatial working memory yet was broadly similar in a language test and in school achievement tests. It is argued that low visuo-spatial intelligence children typically present limitations in the storage capacity of a passive system of the visuo-spatial working memory (with a raw measure of four-five stored elements) and especially in the operations required to process that information.File in questo prodotto:
