Italian Children

This follow-up study compares cognitive and language aspects of a group of Italian children ages 4–6 years, who had shown delayed expressive language abilities at 24 months of age (late talkers), with those of a group of children with a history of normal expressive language development (average talkers). Children were given a battery of cognitive–neuropsychological tests to assess grammatical comprehension, vocabulary development, verbal short-term memory, phonological awareness, planning and visuomotor coordination, and attention and impulsiveness. No differences were found in the results between the two groups in the domains of attention, impulsiveness, and visuomotor planning, but in the domain of syntactic competence late talkers developed particular difficulties in the comprehension of passive negative sentences compared to average talkers. Late talkers also performed significantly worse on the nonword repetition task, which measures abilities closely connected with verbal short-term memory and phonological awareness.

Purpose A significant relationship between verbal short-term memory (STM) and language performance in people with aphasia has been found across studies. However, very few studies have examined the predictive value of verbal STM in treatment outcomes. This study aims to determine if verbal STM can be used as a predictor of treatment success. Method Retrospective data from 25 people with aphasia in a larger randomized controlled trial of phonomotor treatment were analyzed. Digit and word spans from immediately pretreatment were run in multiple linear regression models to determine whether they predict magnitude of change from pre- to posttreatment and follow-up naming accuracy. Pretreatment, immediately posttreatment, and 3 months posttreatment digit and word span scores were compared to determine if they changed following a novel treatment approach. Results Verbal STM, as measured by digit and word spans, did not predict magnitude of change in naming accuracy from pre- to posttreatment nor from pretreatment to 3 months posttreatment. Furthermore, digit and word spans did not change from pre- to posttreatment or from pretreatment to 3 months posttreatment in the overall analysis. A post hoc analysis revealed that only the less impaired group showed significant changes in word span scores from pretreatment to 3 months posttreatment. Discussion The results suggest that digit and word spans do not predict treatment gains. In a less severe subsample of participants, digit and word span scores can change following phonomotor treatment; however, the overall results suggest that span scores may not change significantly. The implications of these findings are discussed within the broader purview of theoretical and empirical associations between aphasic language and verbal STM processing.

Introduction: Cognitive and physical impairments are common in cardiac arrest survivors. Global measures including the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS), Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) and the 10-domain CPC-Extended (CPC-E) tend to improve over 1 year. The CPC-E is scored from 1-5 with higher scores signifying greater impairment. However, with the CPC-E, individual functional domains (alertness, logical thinking, attention, motor skills, short-term memory, basic and complex activities of daily living (ADL), mood, fatigue, and return to work) may recover at different rates. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that patients would have recovery in all domains of the CPC-E at 1 year after index cardiac arrest. Methods: A prospective cohort study of cardiac arrest survivors was conducted between 2/1/16 and 5/31/17. Chart review was done for baseline demographic data. Outcome measures including mRS, CPC, and CPC-E scores were assessed at discharge, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. We defined recovery of a CPC-E domain when >90% of patients had scores of 1-2 in that domain. Results: Of 71 subjects, 35 completed the CPC-E at discharge, 35 at 3 months, 25 at 6 months and 31 at 1 year. The most common reasons for exclusion were patient declined or were lost to follow up. The majority (N=37; 52%) were female, with a mean (SD) age of 58(17) years. Most arrests occurred out of hospital (N= 49; 69%), 27 (38%) had a shockable rhythm and the majority (N=37; 54%) were discharged home. CPC-E domains of alertness (N=35, 100%) logical thinking (N=35; 100%), and attention (N=33; 94%) recovered by hospital discharge. BADLs were recovered by 3 months (N=33; 94%). The majority of patients (N=24;77%) experienced slight-to-no disability or symptoms (mRS 0-2 / CPC 1-2) at 1 year follow up. CPC-E short term memory (67%), motor (87%), mood (87%), fatigue (13%), complex ADL (74%), and return to work (55%) did not recover fully by 1 year. Conclusions: In survivors of cardiac arrest, CPC-E domains of alertness, logical thinking, and attention recover rapidly, while domains of short term memory, motor, mood, fatigue, complex ADL and ability to return to work are chronically impaired 1 year after arrest. Interventions to improve recovery in these domains are needed.

Background: Inadequate chronic nutrition can cause disruption of bone growth and brain development. Impaired bone growth can cause stunting in children, and a disruption of brain development will affect cognitive function, one of them is short-term memory. This study aimed to compare the short-term memory between stunting and non stunting in urban and rural elementary school students in Kupang.Methods: This research used analytic observational method with cross sectional design conducted on urban and rural elementary school students in Kupang City. One hundred and sixty students who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected using consecutive sampling method. Characteristics data were collected by the interview, while the stunting data was known by measuring height and assessed by WHO anthroplus application, short-term memory data was obtained from digit span test. Stunting is a nominal data scale, while the short-term memory is an ordinal data scale. This study was analyzed bivariately using chi-square test with significant p value ≤ 0.05.Results: Chi-square test results of short-term memory between stunting and non stunting in urban and rural elementary school students obtained p = 0.144, which means there is no significant difference in short-term memory between stunting and non stunting in urban and rural elementary school children in Kupang.Conclusions: There is no significant difference in short-term memory between stunting and non stunting in elementary school children, both in urban and rural areas of Kupang.

Edwards Personal Preference Schedule

This study examined a possible relationship between personality needs and short-term memory. 102 Japanese college students were administered a Japanese version of the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule and performed 3 verbal short-term memory tests. No reliable correlations were found between memory performance and the scores on the 15 scales of Edwards' schedule. In contrast, course examination scores in introductory psychology were statistically significantly correlated with some scale scores. These results suggested that motivational personality traits would not be related to short-term memory performance, although they were associated with academic achievement.

PURPOSE To evaluate the cognitive and emotional functioning of patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in the protected environment (PE). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were given tests of cognition and mood before their hospitalization in the PE, after 2 weeks, at discharge, and at 8 months post-BMT. Locus of control, degree of social support, previous biotherapy, and on-treatment psychiatric consultation were also analyzed. RESULTS Before BMT, 20% of patients had mild cognitive dysfunction, and nearly 40% had significant anxiety. Although few patients developed problems with cognition or mood during the study, short-term memory deficits nearly doubled at follow-up compared with baseline. Anxiety decreased significantly during hospitalization and remained low at follow-up. In contrast, depression increased throughout hospitalization, but decreased at follow-up. Pre-BMT emotional status and cognitive functioning were highly related to long-term outcome. Type of BMT, locus of control, and degree of social support were related to psychologic distress and cognitive functioning, both during and after BMT. Patient age was not a predictor of neurobehavioral symptoms during or after BMT. CONCLUSION Pretransplant emotional and cognitive functioning are important determinants of long-term outcome and quality of life (QOL) in BMT patients. In addition, a few patients undergoing BMT develop short-term memory difficulties and mood disturbance that may persist. Pretransplant identification of patients at risk for neurobehavioral difficulties may guide early interventions during hospitalization. Posttransplant assessment may then be used to develop rehabilitation programs and other interventions for individuals with persisting complaints.
