Arbeitsgedächtnistraining – Ein neuer Weg in der Sprachtherapie?

Sprachliche Auffälligkeiten gehen häufig mit Einschränkungen der Arbeitsgedächtnisleistung einher. In der logopädischen Therapie spielt das Arbeitsgedächtnis bislang jedoch nur eine untergeordnete Rolle. Neueste Ergebnisse aus Trainingsstudien zeigen vielversprechende Effekte von Arbeitsgedächtnistrainings auf sprachliche Leistungen, was zukünftig auch für die logopädische Therapie von Relevanz sein könnte.

Abstract

Deficits in language processing are often associated with impairments in working memory performance. Yet, working memory has not received much attention in speech and language therapy. Recent studies indicate promising effects of working-memory training on language processing, suggesting that working-memory training may be a promising tool in speech and language therapy.
