Abstract
Results reveal distinct patterns of working memory deficits: dyslexia corresponds with deficits in phonological loop and dyscalculia with deficits in visual-spatial sketchpad. ADHD corresponds with deficits in central executive. No interaction effect could be detected. Thus, it should be concluded that the comorbidity leads to additive working memory deficits, i.e. children with both disorders must cope with broader deficits.
