Text

Moderate correlations were found between the amplitude of ERN and the capacity of working memory. Prior to training (T1), the correlation was r = .28, P<.05 for the controls and r = .45 (P<.001) for the dyslexic readers. Immediately after training (T2), the correlations remained essentially unchanged: r = .26 and r = .44, respectively. At the long post-training time (T3), the correlations increased to r = .41and r = .50. Results indicated that the larger the working memory capacity, the higher the ERN amplitude. This relationship between working memory capacity and ERN amplitude was obtained at all test times and was higher for the dyslexic readers.
