Erica Jostrup; Emma Claesdotter-Knutsson; Pia Tallberg; Göran Söderlund; Peik Gustafsson; Marcus Nyström – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2024
Background: White noise stimulation has demonstrated efficacy in enhancing working memory in children with ADHD. However, its impact on other executive functions commonly affected by ADHD, such as inhibitory control, remains largely unexplored. This research aims to explore the effects of two types of white noise stimulation on oculomotor…

Jacques Pesnot Lerousseau; Maude Denis; Stéphane Roman; Daniele Schön – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Prelingual deaf children with cochlear implants show lower digit span test scores compared to normal-hearing peers, suggesting a working memory impairment. To pinpoint more precisely the subprocesses responsible for this impairment, we designed a sequence reproduction task with varying length (two to six stimuli), modality (auditory or…

Renner, Elizabeth; Somai, Rosyl S.; Van der Stigchel, Stefan; Campbell, Clare; Kean, Donna; Caldwell, Christine A. – Infant and Child Development, 2021
Assessing children's working memory capacity (WMC) can be challenging for a variety of reasons, including the rapid increase in WMC across early childhood. Here, we developed and piloted an adapted WMC task, which involved minimal equipment, could be performed rapidly, and did not rely on verbal production ability (to facilitate the use of the…

Lê, Margaux; Blais, Mélody; Jucla, Mélanie; Chauveau, Nicolas; Maziero, Stéphanie; Biotteau, Maëlle; Albaret, Jean-Michel; Péran, Patrice; Chaix, Yves; Tallet, Jessica – Developmental Science, 2021
Rhythmic abilities are impaired in developmental coordination disorder (DCD) but learning deficit of procedural skills implying temporal sequence is still unclear. Current contradictory results suggest that procedural learning deficits in DCD highly depend on learning conditions. The present study proposes to test the role of sensory modality of…

Roark, Casey L.; Lescht, Erica; Hampton Wray, Amanda; Chandrasekaran, Bharath – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Categories are fundamental to everyday life and the ability to learn new categories is relevant across the lifespan. Categories are ubiquitous across modalities, supporting complex processes such as object recognition and speech perception. Prior work has proposed that different categories may engage learning systems with unique developmental…

Nejati, Vahid – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
Working memory performance in individuals with autism is a matter of debate in the literature. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of stimuli in the working memory of children with and without autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Sixteen children with ASD, clinically diagnosed as high functioning, were matched for gender and age and…

Yousef Dehghani; Faride Sadat Hoseini; Fateme Jamshidi – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2024
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of the EASY Minds program on working memory and selective attention of a group of Iranian students with maths learning disabilities. The study had a quasi-experimental research design with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up tests. Forty students with maths learning disabilities were randomly…

Ehrhorn, Anna M.; Adlof, Suzanne M.; Fogerty, Daniel; Laing, Spencer – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
We assessed nonword repetition (NWR) skills in 7-9 year-old children with dyslexia (dyslexia-only), developmental language disorder (DLD-only), co-occurring DLD+dyslexia, and typical development (TD) with a norm-referenced and an experimental task. The experimental task manipulated phonemic variability (dissimilarity among consonant phonemes…

Gremp, Michelle A.; Deocampo, Joanne A.; Walk, Anne M.; Conway, Christopher M. – Journal of Child Language, 2019
This study investigated the role of sequential processing in spoken language outcomes for children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH), ages 5;3-11;4, by comparing them to children with typical hearing (TH), ages 6;3-9;7, on sequential learning and memory tasks involving easily nameable and difficult-to-name visual stimuli. Children who are DHH…

Ahmad, Faizan; Ahmed, Zeeshan; Muneeb, Sara – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2021
An improvement in cognitive performance through brain games play is implicit yet progressive. It is necessary to explore factors that potentially accelerate this improvement process. Like various other significant yet unexplored aspects, it is equally essential to establish a performative (fusion of accuracy and efficiency) insight about players'…

van Berkel-van Hoof, Lian; Hermans, Daan; Knoors, Harry; Verhoeven, Ludo – First Language, 2020
Previous research found a beneficial effect of augmentative signs (signs from a sign language used alongside speech) on spoken word learning by signing deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children. The present study compared oral DHH children, and hearing children in a condition with babble noise in order to investigate whether prolonged experience…

Zhao, Xin; Fu, Junjun; Ma, Xiaofeng; Maes, Joseph H. R. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2019
According to the executive framework of prospective memory (PM), age-related differences in PM performance are mediated by age-related differences in executive functioning (EF). The present study further explored this framework by examining which specific components of EF are associated with PM differences between and within three age groups. A…

Munson, Benjamin; Krause, Miriam O. P. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2017
Background: Psycholinguistic models of language production provide a framework for determining the locus of language breakdown that leads to speech-sound disorder (SSD) in children. Aims: To examine whether children with SSD differ from their age-matched peers with typical speech and language development (TD) in the ability phonologically to…

Ishihara, Toru; Sugasawa, Shigemi; Matsuda, Yusuke; Mizuno, Masao – Developmental Science, 2018
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between sports experience (i.e., tennis experience) and executive function in children while controlling for physical activity and physical fitness. Sixty-eight participants (6-12 years old, 34 males and 34 females) were enrolled in regular tennis lessons (mean = 2.4 years,…

Chamandar, Fatemeh; Jabbari, Susan; Poorghorban, Maryam; Sarvestani, Maryam Shafiei; Amini, Sahar – Journal of Education and Learning, 2019
Research has highlighted the role of working memory and inhibition on the performance of pupils in mathematics. This study was an attempt to look into the relationship between executive function including working memory capacity and inhibition on the one hand and mathematical abilities on the other. 30 primary school students were selected from…
