The Fuld Object Memory Evaluation (FOME) showed significant ceiling effects in 232 children, with most recalling all objects quickly. This suggests the test may need modification for assessing memory in diverse child populations.

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Neuropsychological Assessment

Background:

  • The Fuld Object Memory Evaluation (FOME) is a tool used to assess memory in children.
  • Standardized memory assessments are crucial for identifying cognitive impairments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the Fuld Object Memory Evaluation (FOME) in a sample of normally functioning children.
  • To identify potential ceiling effects in the FOME within this population.

Main Methods:

  • Administered a modified Fuld Object Memory Evaluation (FOME) to 232 children in grades 1-8.
  • Utilized a trial termination rule based on successful recall of all 10 objects.
  • Analyzed ceiling effects in relation to age and grade level.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • A significant ceiling effect was observed, with 97.4% of children recalling all 10 objects by the fourth trial.
  • Ineffective reminders were rarely needed.
  • Ceiling effects were analyzed across different age and grade levels.

    • Conclusions:

    • The modified Fuld Object Memory Evaluation (FOME) demonstrates substantial ceiling effects in typically developing children.
    • The findings suggest the FOME may require adaptation for use with children exhibiting severe cognitive impairments or diverse cultural backgrounds.
