Abstract

Introduction: The Phonological Working memory (PWM) plays an essential role in many cognitive functions, such as language acquisition. Impaired PWM can result in learning disability. Therefore, the existence of a standard test for the assessment of this ability, especially in children, is vital. Evidence suggests that the Non-word repetition (NWR) task is a good representative of PWM competence. This study aimed to normalize the NWR test for Farsispeaking children. Also, we aimed at assessing the external Reliability of this test. Materials and Methods: The NWR test, including main and parallel tests, was performed on 455 typically-developed children in five age groups ranging from four to nine years old. We attempted to have an almost equal number of participants in different socio-economic status groups and sexes. Results: We found a remarkable relationship between the main and parallel test results (P≤ 0. 001). There was a direct relationship between age and NWR performance in the main (P≤ 0. 001) and the parallel (P≤ 0. 001) tests. Also, boys obtained better total scores in the main (P=0. 002) and the parallel (P≤ 0. 001) tests. Conclusion: The test has high external Reliability. The results showed Non-word repetition ability increased with age. The reported standard scores and normative data can be used for screening and assessing PWM among children.
