Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship among logical memory, processing speed and social-emotional development of children during middle childhood.
Methodology: This cross-sectional correlational study included 250 school students (125 boys & 125 girls) of age range 6-8 years selected from different government schools of Lahore through purposive sampling technique from December 2022 to May 2023. Logical memory test, coding test and socialization scale were used in the identification of culturally based results of cognitive skills of children. Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Hierarchical Regression were used to analyze the data.
Results: A positive significant correlation (r= 0.28, p<0.001) was found between scores of the Logical Memory Test and Coding Test. Also, a significant positive relationship (r=0.18, p<0.01) was found between the second story of Logical Memory and Socialization Scale. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that age (ΔR2=0.10, p<0.001), processing speed (ΔR2= 0.04, p<0.001) and socialization skills (ΔR2= 0.02, p<0.05) were positive significant predictors of logical memory among participants.
Conclusion: The study has identified that children's cognitive and social development are interrelated, especially in middle childhood. The psychological and educational implications of this study would contribute to a better understanding of developmental milestones.

Key words: Middle childhood, logical memory, cognitive development, processing speed, socialization skills and developmental milestones.
