summary

Working memory is one of the key cognitive domains, closely linked to language learning through its role in storing and processing verbal and visual information. The purpose of this book, developed in four chapters, is to familiarize readers with the concept of working memory and its relationship to language development, while introducing assessment tools and practical strategies for intervention. The book presents widely used tasks that can be applied to evaluate and treat working memory in children with language impairments. It provides clinicians and researchers with structured approaches to assessment and intervention, aiming to enhance language abilities and overall communication outcomes in affected children.
