Reduced benefit from long-term item frequency contributes to short-term memory deficits in dyslexia.

Figure 2 C illustrates that this was indeed the case: for IDDs the correlation between DST scores in the two languages was highly significant (Pearson: r = .60, p < .001, Spearman r = .61, p < .001), whereas for controls it was not (Pearson: r = .25, p = .179, Spearman r = .27, p = .151; though the group difference between the strength of the correlations was only marginally significant: Fishers Z-test, z = 1.64, one-sided p < .05; Fig. 2 C; Lenhard & Lenhard, 2014 ).
