It has been previously shown that familiar music can enhance verbal memory in individuals with WS who have had music training.
These findings provide further evidence that formal music lessons may impact the neurological pathways associated with verbal memory in individuals with WS, consistent with findings in typically developing individuals.
This study was designed to examine if a novel melody could also enhance verbal memory in individuals with WS, and to more fully characterize music training in this population.
Different studies, have found impaired visual memory in individuals with PTSD [ 18, 19, 23, 24].
Therefore, the first aim in the present study was to confirm if learning rate for associative memory in individuals with aMCI was more impaired than for item memory.
Neuropsychological studies have identified attentional-executive deficits and psychomotor slowing, with relatively preserved language and recognition memory in individuals with vascular disease [ 47, 48].
The technique of 'self-imaging' (i.e., imagining an event from a realistic and personal perspective) has also been shown to significantly enhance recognition memory in individuals who suffer from neurological memory impairments (Grilli & Glisky, 2010).
In meta-analyses, DHA supplementation improves attention, processing speed and immediate recall, learning, and memory in individuals with cognitive impairment without dementia but not in those with dementia [ 92, 93].
While the WMS-IV is designed to assess memory in individuals ≥16 years old, subjects aged 14 and 15 years in the current study were also assessed using this task.
When HBV immunogenicity is evaluated at a longer interval from primary vaccination, the presence of specific immune memory in individuals with anti-HBs titers < 10 mIU/ml can be inferred by testing the response to a booster dose.
