Working Memory is an active system responsible of simultaneous storage and processing of information (Baddeley & Hitch, 1974; Baddeley, 1986, 2007). One of the components of Baddeley and Hitch's model is the Visuospatial Sketchpad, used in the temporary storage and manipulation of visual and spatial information (Baddeley, 1986, 2007; Baddeley & Hitch, 1974; Baddeley & Logie, 1999). Logie (Baddeley & Logie, 1999; Logie, 1995) proposed a model of the Visuospatial Sketchpad th...
Working Memory is an active system responsible of simultaneous storage and processing of information (Baddeley & Hitch, 1974; Baddeley, 1986, 2007). One of the components of Baddeley and Hitch's model is the Visuospatial Sketchpad, used in the temporary storage and manipulation of visual and spatial information (Baddeley, 1986, 2007; Baddeley & Hitch, 1974; Baddeley & Logie, 1999). Logie (Baddeley & Logie, 1999; Logie, 1995) proposed a model of the Visuospatial Sketchpad that includes a passive visual component which stores visual information, and an active spatial component that deals with spatial location: the visual cache and the inner scribe, respectively. Logie and Pearson (1997), and Pickering, Gathercole, Hall, and Lloyd (2001) found evidence that supports this fractioning in children of different ages. The aim of this work is to find evidence of the fractioning of the Visuospatial Sketchpad in 6 years old children. Sixty children participated in the study (25 female -41.7%-, and 35 male), with a mean age in months of 80.04 (SD = 3.26). Two tests form the Automated Working Memory Assessment Battery (Alloway, 2007; Injoque-Ricle, Calero, Alloway, & Burin, in press) were administred: Mazes to assess the visual component, and Dot Matrix to assess the spatial one. Significant differences between the performance in both tests were found, suggesting evidence of the fractioning of the Visuospatial Sketchpad as suggested by Logie (Baddeley & Logie, 1999; Logie, 1995).
