The aim of the present study was to examine the role of age in the organization of verbal working memory, visuospatial working memory and inhibition; specifically whether these constructs could be considered unitary or separate in children aged 7 to 12 years (n = 164) and in adolescents aged 13 to 16 years (n = 75) using a multi-group confirmatory factor analysis. Results suggested that verbal working memory, visuospatial working memory and inhibition improved from childhood to adolescence. However, improvement was not followed by a change in the organization of these components. Verbal working memory, visuospatial working memory and inhibition constituted separable but associated constructs in children and in adolescents.
本研究旨在探讨年龄在言语工作记忆、视空间工作记忆和抑制中的作用；具体来说，就是使用多群组验证性因素分析，检验这些结构在 7 至 12 岁的儿童（n = 164）和 13 至 16 岁的青少年（n = 75）中是否可以被视为单一或独立的。结果表明，言语工作记忆、视空间工作记忆和抑制从儿童期到青春期都有所提高。然而，这种提高并没有伴随着这些成分组织的变化。在儿童和青少年中，言语工作记忆、视空间工作记忆和抑制是可分离但相关的结构。
