working memory, reading comprehension, neuropsychology, learningAbstract
Introduction: Working memory and reading comprehension are essential cognitive processes for students academic development. Objective: This research explores the relationship between these variables in elementary school children, analyzing key studies that demonstrate how working memory facilitates decoding and text processing and on the other hand, in reading comprehension, as a process of great importance in meaningful learning, interpretation and consolidation of a priori knowledge in children. Methodology: Theoretical models such as Baddeley and Hitch (1974) are discussed and their applicability in the educational context is evaluated. Result: The implications of these findings are highlighted to design pedagogical strategies that optimize more effective teaching strategies based on the needs and abilities of the students, which can help to improve their skills in the reading comprehension process. Conclusion: Finally, it was possible to identify gaps in the literature that may help future research proposals that can generate pedagogical interventions based on these skills to optimize academic performance.
