Abstract
Abstract
Background
Memory is the process of encoding, storing, consolidating, and retrieving information. Short-term memory (STM) describes the process of passively holding small amounts of material to be later produced in an untransformed fashion. Tasks that measure STM typically involve situations that do not vary their initial encoding (recall a sequence of items in the order in which they were presented). In children with dyslexia, deficits in working memory have not been well specified.
Results
There is statistically significant between group I and group II regarding all items of the TOMAL-2.
Conclusions
Dyslexic children are distinctively disadvantaged compared with average readers on working and short term memory tasks.
