Abstract
The focus of the current research was to investigate the relationhip between verbal working memory and developmental dyslexia in Pakistani young students. Verbal working memory is about how the verbal information is stored and prcessed. Twenty dyslexic and non- dyslexic students were selected for the present study. A comparison was drawn between them to assess their verbal working memory capacity and sentence processing ability on the basis of sentences listening and reading tests. The results showed a considerable poor performance of Pakistani dyslexic students as compared to non-dyslexic students in their ability to recall not only words but also sentences and their comprehension in both forms that is, verbal as well as written. The study determined relationship between developmental dyslexia and weak verbal working memory. It was also concluded that it is imperative to help dyslexic students to be trained how to use verbal working memory effectively for the learning efficacy.
