This study adapted the Bannatyne Visuospatial Memory test for preschool children aged 3-6. Results show the test effectively measures visuospatial memory in young children, with age impacting performance but not sex.

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders
  • Cognitive Assessment

Background:

  • Visuospatial memory is crucial for early childhood development.
  • Existing memory assessments may not be suitable for very young children.
  • The Bannatyne Visuospatial Memory test has shown promise in older populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt and validate the Bannatyne Visuospatial Memory test for preschool children (ages 3-6).
  • To collect normative data for a downward extension of the test.
  • To assess the test's reliability and validity in this age group.

Main Methods:

  • Administered the Bannatyne Visuospatial Memory test to 113 preschool children (ages 3-6).
  • Collected cross-sectional data on test performance.

  • Performed statistical analyses including ANOVA to examine age and sex differences.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences in visuospatial memory scores were found across age groups.
    • No significant differences in scores were observed based on sex.
    • Data supported the test's reliability and validity for the target age range.

    Conclusions:

    • The adapted Bannatyne Visuospatial Memory test is effective for assessing motor-free visuospatial memory in preschool children as young as three.
    • The findings support the use of this test for early identification and intervention.
    • Further research can explore its application in clinical and educational settings.
