STUDY OBJECTIVE To investigate which memory processes are affected by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). DESIGN Three separate memory systems were investigated in patients with OSA and normal subjects. Verbal episodic memory was tested after forced encoding, in order to control the level of attention during item presentation; procedural memory was tested using a simplified version of a standard t...

Visual attention and visual working memory exert severe capacity limitations on cognitive processing. Impairments in both functions may exacerbate the social and communication deficits seen in children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study characterizes spatial working memory and visual attention in school-age children with high-functioning autism. Children with ASD, and age, gende...

introduction: the present post-eventual research study was conducted with the purpose of comparing the memory performance between two distinct groups of 50 healthy children and 50 attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) children (25 girls and 25 boys) in tehran with an age range of 10-12. methods: the whole students were selected through simple random sampling method and were assessed i...

Professors from the University of California at Berkeley were administered a 90-min test battery of cognitive performance that included measures of reaction time, pairedassociate learning, working memory, and prose recall Age effects among the professors were observed on tests of reaction time, paired-associate memory, and some aspects of working memory Age effects were not observed on measures...

This 3-year longitudinal study determined whether (a) subgroups of children with reading disabilities (RD) (children with RD only, children with both reading and arithmetic deficits, and low verbal IQ readers) and skilled readers varied in working memory (WM) and short-term memory (STM) growth and (b) whether growth in an executive system and/or a phonological storage system mediated growth in ...

Method: Two groups of children were selected for the purpose; Children with Speech and Language impairment (SLI) and Typically Developing (TD) children. The SLI group consisted of 15 children (10 male and 5 female) with an age range of 75-154 months. The TD children consisted of 23 children (12 male and 11 female) with an age range of 48-190. All children were assessed on the intelligence test ...

This study identified cognitive processes that underlie individual differences in working memory (WM) and mathematical problem-solution accuracy in elementary school children at risk and not at risk for serious math difficulties (SMD). A battery of tests was administered that assessed problem solving, achievement, and cognitive processing in children in first (N ! 130), second (N ! 92) and thir...
