Purpose: This paper examines the developmental continuity from prelinguistic
communication to kindergarten age in language and working memory capacity.
Method: Following our work outlining six groups of children with different trajectories of
Early Communication Development (ECD, Määttä et al., 2012), we examined their later
development by psychometric assessment. Ninety-one children first assessed at age 12 to 21
months completed a battery of language and working memory tests at age 5;3 (years;
months).
Results: Two of the ECD groups previously identified as being at risk for language
difficulties continued to show weaker performance at follow-up. The majority (79 %) of the
children with compromised language skills at follow-up were identified on the basis of the
ECD groups, but the number of false positives was high. The two at-risk groups also differed
significantly from the typically developing groups in the measures tapping working memory
capacity.
Conclusions: In line with the dimensional view of language impairment, the accumulation of
early delays predicted the amount of later difficulties; however, at the individual level the
prediction had rather low specificity. The results imply a strong link between language and
working memory and call for further studies examining the early developmental interaction
between language and memory.

Developmental pathways of language development : a longitudinal predictive study from prelinguistic stage to outcome at school entry
Määttä, Sira (University of Jyväskylä, 2017)This research focused on the pathways of development during the prelinguistic stage and from prelinguistic development to later language ability. The first goal was to follow and describe the development of several ... -

Laasonen, Marja; Smolander, Sini; Lahti-Nuuttila, Pekka; Leminen, Miika; Lajunen, Hanna-Reetta; Heinonen, Kati; Pesonen, Anu-Katriina; Bailey, Todd M.; Pothos, Emmanuel M.; Kujala, Teija; Leppänen, Paavo H.T.; Bartlett, Christopher W.; Geneid, Ahmed; Lauronen, Leena; Service, Elisabet; Kunnari, Sari; Arkkila, Eva (BioMed Central, 2018)Background Developmental language disorder (DLD, also called specific language impairment, SLI) is a common developmental disorder comprising the largest disability group in pre-school-aged children. Approximately 7% of ... -
A negative emotional state impairs individuals’ ability to filter distractors from working memory : an ERP study
Ye, Chaoxiong; Liu, Ruyi; Guo, Lijing; Zhao, Guoying; Liu, Qiang (Springer, 2024)Capacity-limited visual working memory (VWM) requires that individuals have sufficient memory space and the ability to filter distractors. Negative emotional states are known to impact VWM storage, yet their influence on ... -
An examination of the cognitive functions associated with rapid naming of objects and letters in children and adults
Riihimäki, Hanna (2023)To date, it is unclear which cognitive functions influence performance in rapid automatized naming (RAN) tasks. Potential underlying processes include phonological processing (Vaessen et al., 2009), processing speed (Kail ... -
Early prediction of reading trajectories of children with and without reading instruction in kindergarten : a comparison study of Estonia and Finland
Torppa, Minna; Soodla, Piret; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina; Kikas, Eve (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2019)Background: The present study examined differences in the prediction of reading development and reading difficulties in Estonia (n = 348) and Finland (n = 344). These neighbouring countries share many similarities in terms ...
