The Comprehensive Assessment Battery for Children - Working Memory (CABC-WM) is a computer-based battery designed to assess different components of working memory in young school-age children. Working memory deficits have been identified in children with language-based learning disabilities, including dyslexia and language impairment, but it is not clear whether these children exhibit deficits in subcomponents of working memory, such as visuospatial or phonological working memory. The CABC-WM is administered on a desktop computer with a touchscreen interface and was specifically developed to be engaging and motivating for children. Although the long-term goal of the CABC-WM is to provide individualized working memory profiles in children, the present study focuses on the initial success and utility of the CABC-WM for measuring central executive, visuospatial, phonological loop, and binding constructs in children with typical development. Immediate next steps are to administer the CABC-WM to children with specific language impairment, dyslexia, and comorbid specific language impairment and dyslexia.
儿童综合评估量表 - 工作记忆（CABC-WM）是一种基于计算机的量表，旨在评估低龄学童工作记忆的不同组成部分。在患有基于语言的学习障碍（包括诵读困难和语言障碍）的儿童中已发现工作记忆缺陷，但尚不清楚这些儿童在工作记忆的子成分（如视觉空间或语音工作记忆）中是否存在缺陷。CABC-WM在带有触摸屏界面的台式计算机上进行施测，并且是专门为吸引儿童并激发其积极性而开发的。尽管CABC-WM的长期目标是提供儿童个性化的工作记忆概况，但本研究重点关注CABC-WM在测量发育正常儿童的中央执行、视觉空间、语音回路和绑定结构方面的初步成效和效用。接下来的直接步骤是对患有特定语言障碍、诵读困难以及合并特定语言障碍和诵读困难的儿童施测CABC-WM。
