A longitudinal study presented investigates the cognitive skills and scholastic attainments at 8 years of age of children selected on the basis of poor phonological loop skills at 5 years. The findings revealed that persistently poor phonological memory skills do not significantly constrain the acquisition of language, mathematics, or number skills over the early school years.
