Summary/Abstract: Working Memory (WM) and Short Term Memory (STM) performance were examined in children with Intellectual Disability. They were aged between 4 to 16years. The study also explored the relationship of Intelligence Quotient (IQ) with WM and STM. The study found that the children with Intellectual Disability (ID) were impaired on all the measures of WM/ STM, albeit with specific areas of strength displayed by children functioning within the Borderline range of ID. Overall, children with delay in intellectual functioning performed significantly lower compared to typically-developing children.
