Individuals with poor working memory functioning are at risk of poor educational progress, over 85% of children with poor working memory have problems in reading or mathematics [ 8].
We also demonstrated that good memory performance is sustained by activation within the pathological MTL, explaining why patients with better preoperative memory functioning are most at risk of postoperative memory impairment.
More precisely, it appears that in our model certain levels of episodic memory functioning are more discriminatory than others in terms of identifying MCI subjects at especially high risk for conversion.
Memory functioning was assessed in 12-month-old WT naive (untreated) mice and four groups of Tg2576 mice (naive, sham-operated, and transplanted with either WT or IL-1raTG NPCs at 11 months of age).
No differences in verbal working memory functioning were evident between groups, however.Home-based, computerized cognitive training demonstrates good feasibility and acceptability in our sample.
The hippocampus, the part of the brain that is essential to normal memory functioning, was smaller in the football players compared to the controls.
Verbal memory functioning was assessed with the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test – Revised (HVLT-R).
Moreover, although a genetic impact on working memory functioning is evident, the specific genes contributing to this effect are not yet identified.
Evidence has been presented showing poor working memory and procedural memory functioning is related to the language deficits in SLI (Estes, Evans, & Else-Quest, 2007; Gathercole & Baddeley, 1990; Lum, Conti-Ramsden, Morgan, & Ullman, 2013; Montgomery, 2003; Ullman & Pierpont, 2005).
In-depth analyses on the electrical characteristics and the mechanisms of the memory functions are presented.
Individual differences in memory function are likely related to other health-related factors, including personality, psychopathology, dementia risk, brain structure and function, and genotype.
