Previous research indicates that children with speech sound disorders (SSD) have
underlying phonological memory deficits. The SSD population, however, is diverse. While …

Background: Research has consistently documented a relationship between phonological
short‐term memory skills (STM) and specific language impairment (SLI). This study reports …

In recent years, a great deal of progress has been made in understanding the relationship
