Using Learning Flexibly and Remembering after a Delay: Understanding Cognitive Dysfunction in Adults with Down Syndrome
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Roberts, L.; Richmond, J. L. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2018
Background: Episodic memory deficits are a characteristic of cognitive dysfunction in people with Down syndrome (DS). However, less is known about the processes (i.e. encoding, retention or using learned information flexibly) that underlie these deficits. Method: We explored these abilities by administering a relational memory and inference task…

Milojevich, H.; Lukowski, A. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2016
Background: Whereas research has indicated that children with Down syndrome (DS) imitate demonstrated actions over short delays, it is presently unknown whether children with DS recall information over lengthy delays at levels comparable with typically developing (TD) children matched on developmental age. Method: In the present research, 10…

Ball, S. L.; Holland, A. J.; Watson, P. C.; Huppert, F. A. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2010
Background: Recent research has suggested a specific impairment in frontal-lobe functioning in the preclinical stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in people with Down's syndrome (DS), characterised by prominent changes in personality or behaviour. The aim of the current paper is to explore whether particular kinds of change (namely executive…

Su, C. Y.; Chen, C. C.; Wuang, Y. P.; Lin, Y. H.; Wu, Y. Y. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2008
Background: Very little is known about the neuropsychological correlates of adaptive functioning in people with intellectual disabilities (ID). This study examined whether specific cognitive deficits and demographic variables predicted everyday functioning in adults with ID. Method: People with ID (n = 101; ages 19-41 years; mean education = 11…
