Annotation

The article analyzes one of the possible psychological mechanisms of specific learning difficulties in younger schoolchildren — the insufficiency of phonological processing processes. The purpose of the article is to study the age dynamics of phonological working memory indicators in students of grades 1–3 with learning difficulties. The study was conducted on the basis of methodological approaches widely used in Russian speech therapy and psychology: the concept of speech underdevelopment; the theory of phonological deficiency in dyslexia; the ontogenetic approach to speech examination). Experimental methods of phonological working memory research were used: repetition of a series of syllables with oppositional consonants, repetition of pseudo-words. The results of an online survey of 159 schoolchildren are presented. The success of reproducing samples as a whole and individual stimuli is shown, a qualitative analysis of errors is given, age differences in the execution of samples and their consistency are considered. The results obtained can be used in the development of standardized procedures for assessing phonological processes at school age. According to one of the samples, the new results were compared with the available data of a non-sampling study. It is concluded that with age, the indicators of phonological working memory improve, there are significant differences in the success of tasks between first-graders and older children.
