- Abstract
This study examined the relationship between short- and long-term memory and the reading comprehension level of 11-year-old school children. The participants were 39 11-years-old children (54% male and 46% female) assessed with The Questionnaire of Neurological and Psychiatric Records (Salvador & Galindo, 1996), the Mexican version of The Reading Processes Assessment Battery (PROLEC-R) (Salvador-Cruz, Cuetos & Aguillon-Solis, 2016) and the Spain-Complutense Children's Verbal Learning Test (TAVECI) (Benedet, Alejandre & Pamos, 2017). We found a relationship between children's long-term verbal memory span and their ability to comprehend written material. These findings agree with previous studies that point out that decoding processes are developed at this age, and reading comprehension depends on creating a global mental picture of the text that has to be kept in longterm memory storage (Casteel, 1993).
