سرعة التجهيز البصري والذاكرة العاملة اللفظية كمنبئين بتعرف وطلاقة تعرف الكلمة لدى التلاميذ ذوي صعوبات تعرف الكلمة بالمرحلة الابتدائية
The present study aimed to identify the possibility of predicting word recognition and word recognition fluency from visual processing speed (verbal, non-verbal) and verbal working memory (phonological loop, central executive) for pupils with word recognition disabilities in the second and third grades of the directorate of education in Asir. The sample of the study consisted of (63) male pupils with word recognition disabilities with an average age of (7.83) years, and a standard deviation (0.49). The study used two tests for the visual processing speed (digits naming speed, visual matching) (prepared by the researcher), two tests for the verbal working memory (word span, listening sentences span) (Hussein, 2011) and the word recognition test (prepared by the researcher). Using a stepwise multiple regression analysis, the results showed that the visual processing speed (verbal, non-verbal) and verbal working memory (phonological loop, central executive) significantly predicted word recognition (explained 48.5% of the variance) and word recognition fluency (explained 46.8% of the variance) for pupils with word recognition disabilities.
