Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

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.

Information Processing Approach

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...

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Learning Disabilities

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.
Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a...

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.
Diagnostic Criteria and...

Working Memory

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.

Summary

Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) experience everyday memory deficits, particularly in verbal and visual recall. These memory issues appear to be fully explained by lower verbal intelligence in affected children.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Developmental Psychology
Clinical Psychology

Background:

Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) often exhibit working memory deficits.
Understanding of everyday memory in real-life situations for children with DCD is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate everyday memory function in children with DCD.
To identify specific everyday memory profiles across different domains in children with DCD.
To explore the relationship between verbal intelligence and everyday memory in children with DCD.

Main Methods:

The study included 19 children with DCD and 19 typically developing (TD) children.
Everyday memory was assessed using the Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test for Children.
Statistical analyses included Pearson correlation and analysis of covariance.

Main Results:

Over half (52.6%) of children with DCD showed everyday memory deficits.
Children with DCD scored significantly lower in overall everyday memory, especially in verbal and visual domains.
Everyday memory deficits in children with DCD were fully mediated by verbal intelligence.

Conclusions:

Most children with DCD experience everyday memory deficits.
Verbal intelligence appears to be the underlying factor for these memory deficits.
Clinical interventions may need to consider language abilities in children with DCD.
