The results are as follows : ( 1) compares with the control group, the Chinese learning disabilities children has the obvious insufficiency in the working memory and the processing speed aspect, but the processing speed cannot explain the different ability group s difference, the Chinese learning disabilities children s flaw lies in the working memory ability the drop ; (2) the working memory flaw lies in the verbal working memory and the central executive function insufficiency, with regards the spatial working memory ability to have nothing to do with. The Chinese learning disabilities already have the general working memory flaw ( central executive function), and they also have the specific working memory (verbal working memory) ability insufficiency. Key words :working memory ; processing speed,chinese learning disabilities ; verbal working memory ; central executive function 100
