Abstract
Future work is needed to establish that pure short-term memory is a coheren t individual difference attribute that is separable from traditional compou nd short-term memory measures. Psychometric support for latent pure short-t erm memory capacity will provide an important starting point for future fin e-grained analyses of the intrinsic factors that influence individual diffe rences in math skills.
