[Usage of drugs with potential adverse effects on cognition in a memory-clinic]

28 Jul 2009 Cognitive decline is a frequent clinical symptom in elderly patients. In particular, memory disturbances are an early sign and a risk factor for subsequent development of neurodegenerative dementia. At the same time, elderly patients often receive ... Read more...

Short-term memory (STM) constraints in children with specific language impairment (SLI): are there differences between receptive and expressive SLI?

30 May 2009 PURPOSE: Specific language impairment (SLI) is assumed to be causally related to deficits in auditory short-term memory (STM). Although verbal STM deficits have been consistently found in SLI, the results of visual STM tests are inconsistent. Do ... Read more...
