Dual Task Training

ABSTRAK Anak usia sekolah merupakan masa anak terjun ke dalam lingkungan sosial yang lebih luas dan mulai menghadapi tugas-tugas baru. Perkembangan anak pada masa ini harus selalu diperhatikan, mulai dari perkembangan kognitif, motorik, sensorik, fisik, bahasa, dan emosional anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh dual-task training (motor-cognitive) terhadap perubahan memori jangka pendek pada anak usia sekolah. Penelitian ini menggunakan quasi experimental design dengan jenis rancangan time series experimental design (post-test setiap minggu dilakukan). Subyek penelitian yaitu anak usia 10-11 tahun di SD Inpres Kera-Kera, Makassar yang dalam kondisi sehat baik secara fisik dan mental, memiliki IMT normal dan tidak mengalami gangguan keseimbangan. Jumlah repsonden sebanyak 30 orang (diluar dropout) dan menjalani pelatihan dual-task training selama 4 minggu (12 kali perlakuan). Hasil penelitian setelah dilakukan uji normalitas Shapiro Wilk diperoleh sebaran data tidak normal (p<0,05), kemudian dilakukan uji hipotesis menggunakan uji Friedman+Pos Hoc Wilcoxon dan diperoleh nilai signifikan p=0,000 (p<0,05). Hasil analisis data yang dillihat mulai dari pretest, post-test 1, post-test 2, post-test 3, dan post-test 4 menunjukkan adanya peningkatan. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa adanya pengaruh dual-task training (motor-cognitive) terhadap perubahan memori jangka pendek pada anak usia sekolah.  Kata Kunci: dual-task training, memori jangka pendek, anak usia sekolah, digit span test  ABSTRACT School-age children are the childhood years of plunging into the wider social environment and start facing new tasks. The child's development period must always be considered, starting from cognitive, motoric, sensory, physical, language, and emotional development of children. This study aims to determine the effect of dual-task training (motor-cognitive) on changes in short-term memory in school-age children. This study uses a quasi-experimental design with the type of experimental time series design (post-test every week is done). The research subjects were children aged 10-11 years in SD Inpres Kera-Kera, Makassar who were in good health both physically and mentally, had a normal BMI and had no impaired balance.. The number of respondents was 30 peoples (out of dropout) and underwent dual-task training for 4 weeks (12 times treatments). The results of this study after Shapiro Wilk normality test obtained abnormal distribution of data (p <0.05), then carried out hypothesis testing using Friedman + Pos Hoc Wilcoxon test and obtained a significant value p = 0,0001 (p <0.05). The results of the data analysis starting from the pretest, post-test 1, post-test 2, post-test 3 and post-test 4 showed an increase.. This shows that there is an influence of dual-task training (motor-cognitive) on changes short-term memory in school-age children.  Keywords: dual-task training, short-term memory, school-age children, digit span test

Use Of Knowledge

AbstractRapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) of words or pictured scenes provides evidence for a large-capacity conceptual short-term memory (CSTM) that momentarily provides rich associated material from long-term memory, permitting rapid chunking (Potter 1993; 2009; 2012). In perception of scenes as well as language comprehension, we make use of knowledge that briefly exceeds the supposed limits of working memory.

Purpose Previous research into the working, declarative, and procedural memory systems in children with developmental language disorder (DLD) has yielded inconsistent results. The purpose of this research was to profile these memory systems in children with DLD and their typically developing peers. Method One hundred four 5- to 8-year-old children participated in the study. Fifty had DLD, and 54 were typically developing. Aspects of the working memory system (verbal short-term memory, verbal working memory, and visual–spatial short-term memory) were assessed using a nonword repetition test and subtests from the Working Memory Test Battery for Children. Verbal and visual–spatial declarative memory were measured using the Children's Memory Scale, and an audiovisual serial reaction time task was used to evaluate procedural memory. Results The children with DLD demonstrated significant impairments in verbal short-term and working memory, visual–spatial short-term memory, verbal declarative memory, and procedural memory. However, verbal declarative memory and procedural memory were no longer impaired after controlling for working memory and nonverbal IQ. Declarative memory for visual–spatial information was unimpaired. Conclusions These findings indicate that children with DLD have deficits in the working memory system. While verbal declarative memory and procedural memory also appear to be impaired, these deficits could largely be accounted for by working memory skills. The results have implications for our understanding of the cognitive processes underlying language impairment in the DLD population; however, further investigation of the relationships between the memory systems is required using tasks that measure learning over long-term intervals.

Abstract Objective Youth with sickle cell disease (SCD) are at risk for neurocognitive deficits including problems with working memory (WM), but few interventions to improve functioning exist. This study sought to determine the feasibility and efficacy of home-based, digital WM training on short-term memory and WM, behavioral outcomes, and academic fluency using a parallel group randomized controlled trial design. Methods 47 children (7–16 years) with SCD and short-term memory or WM difficulties were randomized to Cogmed Working Memory Training at home on a tablet device (N = 24) or to a standard care Waitlist group (N = 23) that used Cogmed after the waiting period. Primary outcomes assessed in clinic included performance on verbal and nonverbal short-term memory and WM tasks. Secondary outcomes included parent-rated executive functioning and tests of math and reading fluency. Results In the evaluable sample, the Cogmed group (N = 21) showed greater improvement in visual WM compared with the Waitlist group (N = 22; p = .03, d = 0.70 [CI95 = 0.08, 1.31]). When examining a combined sample of participants, those who completed ≥10 training sessions exhibited significant improvements in verbal short-term memory, visual WM, and math fluency. Adherence to Cogmed was lower than expected (M = 9.07 sessions, SD = 7.77), with 19 participants (41%) completing at least 10 sessions. Conclusions: Visual WM, an ability commonly affected by SCD, is modifiable with cognitive training. Benefits extended to verbal short-term memory and math fluency when patients completed a sufficient training dose. Additional research is needed to identify ideal candidates for training and determine whether training gains are sustainable and generalize to real-world outcomes.

AbstractThe Corsi Block-Tapping test (CBT) is a measure of spatial working memory (WM) in clinical practice, requiring an examinee to reproduce sequences of cubes tapped by an examiner. CBT implies complementary behaviors in the examiners and the examinees, as they have to attend a precise turn taking. Previous studies demonstrated that the Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) is activated during CBT, but scarce evidence is available on the neural correlates of CBT in the real setting. We assessed PFC activity in dyads of examiner–examinee participants while completing the real version of CBT, during conditions of increasing and exceeding workload. This procedure allowed to investigate whether brain activity in the dyads is coordinated. Results in the examinees showed that PFC activity was higher when the workload approached or reached participants’ spatial WM span, and lower during workload conditions that were largely below or above their span. Interestingly, findings in the examiners paralleled the ones in the examinees, as examiners’ brain activity increased and decreased in a similar way as the examinees’ one. In the examiners, higher left-hemisphere activity was observed suggesting the likely activation of non-spatial WM processes. Data support a bell-shaped relationship between cognitive load and brain activity, and provide original insights on the cognitive processes activated in the examiner during CBT.
