| Sumario: | Abstract: Academic skill learning involves different memory systems. Procedural memory
needs repetition, while episodic memories are formed from single events and concepts
are stored as associative networks within semantic memory. During writing,
various cognitive, phonological and motor processes are executed through working
memory; whereas long-term memory provides the knowledge that will be recovered
during textual production. Proper functioning of these memory systems -and neural
substrates such as hippocampus and temporal cortical areas- are related to effectiveness
of composing a text. Recovery of stored knowledge is involved in the course of
expressive fluency, allowing the integration of the semantic components. Children
who can divide attention and control processes through working memory, are more
effective in writing text. During writing, working memory manipulates and keeps linguistic
symbols online; the phonological loop admits and retains verbal information
and performs a review that allows preserving the representations by commanding the
lexical, syntactic and semantic processes. In this chapter, we will refer to the theoretical
contribution of long-term and working memory systems to children’s writing
skills, we will examine the neural substrates and cognitive development of these
systems and we will present empirical evidence of their role in high and low-level
components of the writing process. |
