Research Abstract

The present study investigated whether impaired short-term memory(short-term retention of visuospatial percepts or visually generated images) exhibited by these children is due to a problem in the encoding process. The authors argued with the results that children with nonverbal learning disabilities have difficulty encoding relational information between spatial items, and that this difficulty is responsible for their impaired spatial short-term memory.
