Sažetak
Results of various investigations confirmed that the unavailability of some aspects of memory may be related to the difficulties that children with language-voice difficulties have in planning the reception and production of languages. Poor short-term memory can cause a range of problems such as memorizing , messages, instructions, reading the text, difficulties in maintaining the flow of thought, memorizing names, learning new words, etc. Methods Researching covered children with developmental language voice-activated difficulties in therapy in Polyclinic SUVAG and children with an orderly language-speaking status chosen by method of random choice from one elementary school. Each group consisted of ten boys of average chronological age 9.5 years.The scope of visual memory was tested on series of image templates while working visual memory was tested by memorizing the last pictures from six groups offered. The scope of auditive memory is tested through a list of words and nonwords, while the working auditive memory is tested by memorizing the last words from a series of read six sentences. The scope of spatial memory examined the repetition of default position in space. Results Children with developmental language voice-activated difficulties in therapy in Polyclinic SUVAG showed lower results on all subtests. Conclusion Research results indicate the limitations of scope and capacity of working memory in children with language-communicative difficulties. In this work therapeutic implications of the results are especially prominent.
