It is thought to be Baddeley's hypothesized working memory system and the central executive that are the hypothetical systems impaired in DES. [2] The syndrome was once known as frontal lobe syndrome ; however 'dysexecutive syndrome' is preferred because it emphasizes the functional pattern of deficits (the symptoms) over the location of the ...
The relationship between autism and memory, specifically memory functions in relation to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is an ongoing topic of research. ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by social communication and interaction impairments, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior.
Working memory training is intended to improve a person's working memory.Working memory is a central intellectual faculty, linked to IQ, ageing, and mental health.It has been claimed that working memory training programs are effective means, both for treating specific medical conditions associated with working memory deficit, and for general increase in cognitive capacity among healthy ...
Memory is best when relevant information is attended to and irrelevant information is ignored. [12] Animal and human studies report that acute stress impairs the maintenance of short-term memory and working memory and aggravates neuropsychiatric disorders involved in short-term and working memory such as depression and schizophrenia. [3]
Visuospatial working memory (VSWM) is involved in recalling and manipulating images to remain oriented in space and keep track of the location of moving objects. [2] Early impairment in visuospatial function is found in dementia with Lewy bodies and other conditions. [1]
Empirical support for cognitive remediation in traumatic brain injury and schizophrenia is documented by published randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses. [1] [2] [3] Effects on cognitive skill performance in schizophrenia are durable for months after the therapies are withdrawn, particularly in terms of executive functioning, working memory, and verbal memory.
Losing working memory has been cited as being the primary reason for a decline in a variety of cognitive tasks due to aging. These tasks include long-term memory, problem solving, decision making, and language. [31] Working memory involves the manipulation of information that is being obtained, and then using this information to complete a task.
This is due to age-related deficits in selective attention and working memory, particularly with regard to a reduced ability to inhibit distracting sensory information. [5] In a study by Kotary and Hoyer, [2] adult age differences were examined in terms of the effects of distractor interference on visual search. Distractors were either related ...
