- W2746222009 abstract "The goal of the current research was to study the cognitive processes that support theemergence of writing in young children and to ascertain whether working memory,language ability or motivation to write underlined children's early attempts to learnhow to write. Working memory, language ability and the emergent writing skills of 30Irish children were tested, in a longitudinal study over a three year period, starting atages 4 to 5 years in their first year of formal education. A cross-sectional study of 31children in Junior Infants and 13 children from both Senior Infants and First Classwas also conducted. Working memory was tested using the Automated WorkingMemory Assessment (AWMA). Tests of letter names and sounds, morphologicalknowledge/ grammar were administered. The children completed free writing tasksand writing output was analysed for linguistics features (e.g. spelling errors) as wellas creativity, originality and task relevance. Children rated their liking of writing as anindex of motivation to write.The results showed that working memory was associated with the originalityof children’s emergent writing, as well as structural aspects of writing, particularly theuse of connectives. Verbal working memory played a key role in particular.Participants’ early knowledge of grammar and sounds was associated with fewerorthographic errors in early writing and also with later measures of originality anddetail. Children’s liking of writing had a more modest effect. Gender differences,contrary to expectations, were absent; however, trends in the data suggest differencesthat might have emerged at older ages. These findings highlight the complexinteractions of language and memory functions in supporting early writing." @default.
