Table 1 RECALL components, dosage and task progression
Executive-loaded task | Dosage | Task progression |
Listening recall [25] - Targets verbal ELWM. - The children listen to a short sentence, judge whether it is true or false, then recall the last word of the sentence | 11 trials (practice items) per session. | The number of to-be-remembered words increases from one word in week one to two words by week 6. |
Odd one out [25] - Targets verbal ELWM - The children look at three pictures in a grid, decide where the odd one out is (left, middle or right), then recall the location of the odd one out picture | 11 trials per session. | The number of to-be-remembered locations increases from one in week one, to three or four by week 6. |
- Targets the ability to isolate and manipulate sounds in spoken words, e.g., identifying the first sound in a word | 10–15 min per session. | Difficulty increases from alliterative matching to blending onset and rime. Each task progresses from early to late developing phonemes based on typical speech sound development. |
