Sentence imtation and working memory
Abrahámová, Miroslava ; Smolík, Filip (advisor) ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (referee)
Previous studies have suggested that short-term and long-term memory processes in- dependently affect performance in the sentence-imitation task. The multi-component working memory model by Baddeley and Hitch offers a suitable theoretical description of how these processes contribute to this performance. In order to examine the influence of language knowledge located in the long-term me- mory on performance in the sentence-imitation task while statistically controlling for the influence of short-term memory, we assigned to our participants different tasks testing their language knowledge, phonological short-term memory (phonological loop), com- plex short-term memory (central executive) and the sentence-repetition task. Results from hierarchical linear regression yield significant contribution of the tasks testing language knowledge to explaining the variance in the sentence-imitation task, while controlling for the contributions from the phonological and complex short-term memory tasks. These results are in accordance with previous research and the theory of multi-component working memory. Keywords: working memory, episodic buffer, sentence imitation

Working memory and dyslexia
Benešová, Zuzana ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (advisor) ; Mertin, Václav (referee)
This thesis examines the connections of dyslexia and working memory. The theoretical part of this paper is dedicated to the contemporary concept of dyslexia and working memory, the main focus is on the classical model of working memory by Baddeley who distinguishes 4 basic components: central executive, phonological loop, visuo-spatial sketchpad, and the episodic buffer. The main part of this work is a summary of current research on working memory and its relationship to dyslexia. In the practical part, the author focuses on the design of research and testing levels of working memory functioning in individuals with dyslexia and without difficulty using the WMBT-C method. Keywords: Working memory, dyslexia, phonological loop, central executive, visuo-spatial sketchpad, episodic buffer
