Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is also...
Working Memory01:24

Working Memory

Working memory refers to a combination of components, including short-term memory and attention, that allow an individual to hold information temporarily as we perform cognitive tasks. It is an essential cognitive function that enables the execution of complex tasks such as problem-solving, comprehension, and reasoning. Unlike short-term memory, which simply involves the storage of information for a brief period, working memory involves the active manipulation and processing of this information.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Computerized working memory training improved cognitive functions in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) adolescents. These gains in working memory and executive functions were sustained at six months.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Cognitive Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants often experience cognitive deficits.
  • Working memory and executive functions are critical for academic success.
  • Targeted interventions may mitigate long-term neurodevelopmental challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of a computerized working memory training program.
  • To evaluate effects on trained and untrained cognitive functions in ELBW adolescents.
  • To determine if improvements are maintained over time.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving ELBW adolescents and term-born controls.
  • Participants engaged in a 5-week home-based computerized working memory training program (CogMed RM).
  • Neuropsychological assessments were conducted pre-training, post-training, and at a 6-month follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Both ELBW and control groups showed significant improvements in trained and untrained working memory tasks.
  • Generalizing effects were observed on other memory tests.
  • Improvements in working memory capacity were maintained at the 6-month follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • The CogMed RM program effectively enhanced memory and executive functions in ELBW adolescents.
  • Computerized cognitive training can be a valuable tool for addressing learning deficits.
  • Sustained cognitive improvements suggest long-term benefits of the intervention.
