aim:
A
to investigate the development of the phonological loop in children between 5-17 to see whether the phonological loop’s capacity in terms of digit span develops over time or stops at age 15.

- digit span was the maximum length a ptps could recall with 2/3 with no errors
- each ptp took part individually.
