The role of memory in phonological and syntactic processing in the process of reading in normal and dyslexic Persian children

This article aims to investigate the correlation between the memory skill with syntactic and phonological awareness in the process of reading comprehension both in normal and dyslexic Persian speaking children. Working memory is an important factor for reading process having an important role in phonological and syntactic processing during reading comprehension process. There are different approaches and models of memory. But the common fact of all of them is that memory is a multicomponent system and the roles of which is the storage and the processing of different kinds of information.  This investigation is done based on Baddely (1999) and Jackendoff (2002) models of memory. Jackendoff (2002) believes that memory can be considered as a table on which different processors including phonological, morphological, syntactic and semantic processors are processing linguistic structures.
