Abstract

This article examines the relationship between working memory and externalizing behaviors in children diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders, focusing on the mediating role of expressive language. Data from 50 children in a clinical setting showed that poorer working memory was linked to reduced expressive language abilities, which in turn were associated with increased externalizing behaviors. Mediation analysis indicated that expressive language partially mediated this relationship, while working memory also had a direct effect on externalizing behaviors. The findings suggest that interventions targeting expressive language skills may help mitigate externalizing behaviors in this population.
