This research studied the links between language, narrative and memory in Specific Language Impairments (SLI) students. The sample consisted of 32 children diagnosed with SLI and 23 typically developed children, according to different tests as CELF-3, Peabody, ITPA, Digit Span subtest of the WISC-IV, Spatial Span subtest of the WMS-III and the task of retelling the tale Frog, where are you?. The results show a close connection between working memory and narrative superstructure. Besides, three SLI subtypes could be differentiated according to the memory deficits. Finally, among all dimensions that allow the diagnosis of SLI, the narrative problems aware us of bigger memory difficulties.
