Subclaims¶

q1 i? The authors state that the findings contribute to understanding the relationship between the neural instantiation of written language processes and language, working memory, and other cognitive skills. → Rapp 2016

Evidence¶

Rapp 2016¶

Rapp, Brenda; Purcell, Jeremy; Hillis, Argye; Capasso, Rita; Miceli, Gabriele. (2016). Neural bases of orthographic long-term memory and working memory in dysgraphia. BRAIN. https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awv348

q1 · i? · associational · r1

Authors' interpretive statement about the broader significance of the lesion-mapping findings, offered without additional data or analysis in the available text. The article offers no evidence or argument for this contribution beyond the localization findings themselves.

"These findings also contribute to our understanding of the relationship between the neural instantiation of written language processes and language, working memory and other cognitive skills."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Orthographic working memory deficits in dysgraphia arise primarily from lesions of the left parietal cortex centered on the intraparietal sulcus
• Working memory is distinct from short-term memory in subsystem count and functional role in higher cognition
• Distinct neural substrates selectively support orthographic long-term memory and orthographic working memory in spelling — related
• Behavioral profiles alone can identify dysgraphia cases with deficits selectively affecting orthographic long-term memory or working memory — related
• Orthographic long-term memory deficits in dysgraphia are centered in the left posterior inferior frontal region or left ventral temporal cortex — related
