The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether or not Japanese children with learning disabilities (LD) have deficits in working memory capacity. The working memory performance of children with LD (N=12) in 2 age groups (3rd-4th and 5th-6th grades of elementary school) was examined using the Japanese short-form of the Swanson Cognitive Processing Test (JS-CPT), and compared with that of children without LD. The results showed that, as expected based on prior developmental studies, the performance of the children with LD on the JS-CPT was lower than that of the children without LD on the verbal and visual-spatial subscales for both age groups, and there was a significant increase in scores on the JS-CPT as the children's grade advanced, regardless of the presence or absence of LD. These findings are consistent with results of previous studies carried out with English-speaking children.
