A Systematic Review of Working Memory Applications for Children with Learning Difficulties: Transfer Outcomes and Design Principles
I just connected (via LinkedIn) with Lockwood Educational and Psychological Consulting. The group describes itself below. Given the considerable interest in AI in education and psychology, I would suggest checking out their web page. I’ve not yet conducted a deep dive into the website, but it appears to be a solid AI-related resource. I plan to take a closer look.
Is your district, organization, or practice considering implementing AI but concerned about the ethical and practical implications? You've come to the right place. With expertise in both AI, education, and psychology, I provide guidance to navigate these complex waters, ensuring ethical, effective, and confidence-inspiring AI integration in educational, and psychological practice settings.
Domain-specific and domain-general skills as predictors of arithmetic fluency development
As an FYI, the forthcoming WJ V (Q1, 2025) has a new test (Magnitude Comparison) that measures abilities similar to the symbolic magnitude processing ability measure used in this study (COI - I’m a coauthor of the WJ V)

EXPRESS: Revisiting Working Memory Fifty Years after Baddeley and Hitch: A Review of Field-specific Conceptualizations, Use and Misuse, and Paths Forward for Studying Children
As trained educational and developmental psychologists who study the role of working memory in educational outcomes, we know the various assumptions made about definitions and measurements of this cognitive ability. Considering the popularity of the Baddeley and Hitch working memory model (1974) in these fields, we raise challenges related to measurement, overlap with executive function, and adopting working memory measurement approaches from adult models. We propose that researchers consider how working memory tasks might tap multiple other abilities. This is problematic in the context of child cognitive development and in understanding which factors explain educational outcomes in children. We recommend giving greater attention to the central executive, acknowledging the overlap between the central executive and executive function in study design, and investigating a developmental model in the context of the broader abilities evoked in measurement. These recommendations may provide a fuller understanding of working memory's mechanistic role in children's learning and development and assist in developing reasonable adjustments for specific aspects of working memory for children who struggle
