SILVA, Giovanna Beraldo de Azambuja; ZANINOTTO, Ana Luiza Costa; LUCIA, Mara Cristina Souza de  e  SCAFF, Milberto. Performance evaluation of short-term memory in children from public and private schools. Psicol. hosp. (São Paulo) [online]. 2012, vol.10, n.1, pp.80-94. ISSN 2175-3547.

In this study we sought to observe the differences in working memory performance among children in public and private schools in different cities. Data were obtained through analysis of the performance of short-term memory in seven-year old children, as evaluated by two subtests, i.e., the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), and the Scale Raven Colored Progressive Matrices - Special Scale. There were fifty-six children that participated in the study, between the ages of seven years, and seven years and eleven months old. Twenty-eight students were from public schools and the other half from private schools; encompassing the cities of Campinas - SP, Pouso Alegre - MG, Recife - PE , and Florianopolis - SC. The results from the instruments suggest that the difference found between these types of education is insignificant.
