Abstract

Norms on seven composite scores derived from the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT) are reported here. These scores reflect a variety of verbal memory processes: learning, interference, retention over time, and retrieval efficiency. The norms are based on 943 children ranging in age from 8 to 17 years, divided into 10 age cohorts, and 528 adults, ranging in age from 21 to 91 years, divided into 6 age cohorts. Overall, the learning measures were the most sensitive to age. The most significant changes in memory as measured with these composite scores took place in the very young and very old age groups. These changes may be attributable to frontal lobe maturation in youth and deterioration in old age. Female participants show superiority over male participants on various verbal memory measures. These norms on the composite scores are primarily expected to serve the clinician in the process of memory assessment by supplementing the existing norms on individual trials of the Rey AVLT.

Lateralized differences for verbal learning across trials in temporal lobe epilepsy are not affected by surgical intervention

Carolina Deifelt Streese, Kenneth Manzel, Zhengyuan Wu, Daniel Tranel

Summary: This research aimed to understand how individuals with left- and right-sided mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) learn verbal information. The study found that patients with left-sided MTLE retained fewer words in verbal learning tasks compared to those with right-sided MTLE, regardless of surgical intervention. The findings contribute to understanding the impacts of anterior temporal lobe resection on verbal memory function.

Development and validation of virtual reality-based Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test

Amihai Gottlieb, Glen M. Doniger, Shani Kimel-Naor, Oran Ben-Gal, Maya Cohen, Hila Iny, Michal Schnaider Beeri, Meir Plotnik

Summary: This paper describes the translation of a commonly used neuropsychological test, the RAVLT, to a virtual reality version (VR-RAVLT). The VR-RAVLT was validated and found to have similar psychometric properties to the original version. This suggests that the RAVLT can be adapted to the virtual reality environment.

Altered developmental trajectories of verbal learning skills in 22q11.2DS: associations with hippocampal development and psychosis

Caren Latreche, Johanna Maeder, Valentina Mancini, Karin Bortolin, Maude Schneider, Stephan Eliez

Summary: This study reveals lower verbal learning performance in 22q11.2DS, with a developmental plateau emerging from adolescence. Participants with lower verbal learning scores displayed a reduced left hippocampal tail volume. The deterioration of verbal learning performance is independent of verbal reasoning skills in participants with psychosis.

Characterization and Prediction of Short-term Outcomes in Memory After Temporal Lobe Resection in Children With Epilepsy

Navkiranjot Kaur, Amy S. Nowacki, Deepak K. Lachhwani, Madison M. Berl, Marla J. Hamberger, Patricia Klaas, William Bingaman, Robyn M. Busch

Summary: This study aimed to characterize short-term outcomes in episodic memory after temporal lobe resection in children with epilepsy, and develop clinically applicable prediction models for postoperative memory decline. The results showed that most children did not experience significant change or even improved memory performance after surgery, while a subset of children did show postoperative declines. The study also developed prediction models based on preoperative factors for memory decline.

Procedural learning and retention of audio-verbal temporal sequence is altered in children with developmental coordination disorder but cortical thickness matters

Margaux Le, Melody Blais, Melanie Jucla, Nicolas Chauveau, Stephanie Maziero, Maelle Biotteau, Jean-Michel Albaret, Patrice Peran, Yves Chaix, Jessica Tallet

Summary: The study investigated the impact of sensory modalities on synchronization, learning, and retention of temporal verbal sequences in children with and without DCD, finding a general deficit in synchronization of regular temporal verbal sequence in children with DCD, but a specific deficit in learning and retention of auditory non-regular verbal temporal sequence. The results also suggested a possible alteration in audio-verbal coupling in DCD and the potential for clinical practice based on temporal parameters with visual stimuli.

Executive Function, Working Memory, and Verbal Fluency in Relation to Non-Verbal Intelligence in Greek-Speaking School-Age Children with Developmental Language Disorder

Asimina M. Ralli, Elisavet Chrysochoou, Petros Roussos, Kleopatra Diakogiorgi, Panagiota Dimitropoulou, Diamanto Filippatou

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between working memory, executive functions, verbal fluency and non-verbal intelligence in Greek-speaking school-age children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), compared to typically developing peers. The results showed that children with DLD scored lower on non-verbal intelligence tests and performed worse in working memory, executive functions, and verbal fluency measures, despite no significant differences in inhibition measures. The findings emphasize the impact of DLD on cognitive abilities and highlight the need for further research in this area.

Hotspot of human verbal memory encoding in the left anterior prefrontal cortex

Cagdas Topcu, Victoria S. Marks, Krishnakant V. Saboo, Michal Lech, Petr Nejedly, Vaclav Kremen, Gregory A. Worrell, Michal T. Kucewicz

Summary: This study investigates the critical brain regions and neural activities involved in human memory encoding by conducting intracranial electrophysiological recordings in epilepsy patients. The findings reveal significant differences in low theta frequency neural activities in the prefrontal cortex between subsequently recalled and forgotten words, with a more pronounced memory effect in the anterior cortical regions. The study identifies a focal hotspot in the prefrontal cortex as a potential target for modulating cognitive functions in patients.

Visual, Verbal and Everyday Memory 2 Years After Bariatric Surgery: Poorer Memory Performance at 1-Year Follow-Up

Gro Walo-Syversen, Ingela L. Kvalem, Jon Kristinsson, Inger L. Eribe, Oyvind Ro, Cathrine Brunborg, Camilla Lindvall Dahlgren

Summary: This study investigated visual, verbal, and self-reported everyday memory following bariatric surgery, showing significantly poorer visual and verbal memory performance at the 1-year follow-up which returned to baseline levels after 2 years. There were no significant changes in verbal learning and self-reported everyday memory. Memory performance at 1 year was not predicted by weight loss, changes in C-reactive protein levels or postoperative somatic comorbidity, indicating that postoperative memory improvements following bariatric surgery may not be universal.
