Lateralizing seizure focus in presurgical patients with temporal lobe epilepsy: utility of the Ruff-Light Trail Learning Test.

22 Jun 2009 From a neuropsychological perspective, left or right temporal lobe abnormalities underlying seizures in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) are thought to contribute to selective deficits in verbal or nonverbal memory abilities, respectively. ...

Investigating the childhood development of working memory using sentences: new evidence for the growth of chunk capacity.

15 Jun 2009 Child development is accompanied by a robust increase in immediate memory. This may be due to either an increase in the number of items (chunks) that can be maintained in working memory or an increase in the size of those chunks. We tested these ...

Emotional content does not interfere with verbal memory in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.

11 Jun 2009 In healthy humans, memory for words with emotional valence is better than memory for neutral words. At the same time, the word preceding the emotional word in a word list learning task is remembered less often than other neutral words. Both effects, ...

Vocabulary learning in primary school children: working memory and long-term memory components.

7 Jun 2009 The goal of this study was to investigate which working memory and long-term memory components predict vocabulary learning. We used a nonword learning paradigm in which 8- to 10-year-olds learned picture-nonword pairs. The nonwords varied in length ...

Structural priming of adjective-noun structures in hearing and deaf children.

Jun 2009 We examined priming of adjective-noun structures in Dutch hearing and deaf children. In three experiments, hearing 7- and 8-year-olds, hearing 11- and 12-year-olds, and deaf 11- and 12-year-olds read a prenominal structure (e.g., the blue ball), a ...
