Q

conclusions of lesion studies

A

after left hemisperectomy: impairments in all language functions

after right; borderline performance

etiology matters:
- more severe impairment for cortical dysplasia (in cell migration didnt reach right areas)

  • best outcome for left vascular aand right rasmussen (epilepsie aanvallen langdurig)

    prefrontal cortex
  • Inhibition & attention control
    – See executive function

22
Q

why does implicit memory develop earlier than explicit memory?

A

the basal ganglia and
brainstem are relatively well developed at birth.

23
Q

what is the contingent leg kicking paradigm and what does it measure?

A

an infant’s leg is tethered to an overhead mobile and subsequent leg kicks cause the mobile to move providing reinforcement to the infant; when you put them in same crib sometime later, they
move the leg that was attached to the mobile;

measure of implicit, procured memory.

24
Q

what areas (related to explicit memory) are less developed at birth?

A

The hippocampus and medial temporal lobe

25
Q

what is the delayed non-matching to sample task?

A

The DNMS task requires the subject to compare a presented sample object with a previously presented comparison object and encourages the selection of a novel object with an object’s second presentation. An edible reward is given to the subject to encourage the novel item selection. After learning the rule for avoiding the familiar object in favor of novelty, the delay period between object demonstrations is increased from 10 to 120 seconds and the number of displayed objects requiring recollection increases

involved in hippocampal regions (lesions in monkeys impaired performance on dnms task)

26
Q

what is the conscious memory system in place at birth and what does it develop into? + areas involved

A

at birth: pre-explicit system > mainly hippocampus

after birth gradually develops into: explicit system > hippocampus + temporal cortex

27
Q

in dnms what systems are in place?

A

explicit: pointing preference

pre-explicit: looking preference

28
Q

what brain area involved in memory takes even longer to develop? and what exactly is it involved in?

A

the prefrontal lobe

is involved in organisation of memory and retrieval strategies (metacognition)

29
Q

when does source memory develop?

A

after 4 years of age

30
Q

what develops earlier; recognition or recall?

A

recall develops earlier

31
Q

can you have semantic memory without episodic memory?

A

yes, you don’t need to remember where you learnt it

jon had a premature birth (26 weeks) and showed impaired episodic memory;
impaired spatial memory but normal semantic memory, normal intelligence, verbal functions
also normal, recognition better than recollection.

32
Q

what are possible explanations of early injury of hippocampus in JON and being able to recognize but nog recollect and normal semantic memory?

A

(1) recollection recognition memory
is impaired, semantic and familiarity recognition memory intact (static model)

(2) Temporary projections of rhinal cortex to hippocampus remain because of lesion,
therefore intact semantic memory

(3) Reorganisation of memory network (more bilateral activity in Jon compared to controls)

33
Q

what is developmental amnesia?

A

memory disorder resulting from abnormal neural development or damage before birth, usually no laterality effects. Different aspects of memory can be impaired in different combinations. Selective, therefore the other cognitive functions often develop normally.

34
Q

what is retrograde amnesia?

A

loss of memory of previously learnt information.

35
Q

what is anterograde amnesia?

A

inability to learn new information. Patients with amnesia usually have
problems forming new explicit memories. Implicit learning often remains intact.

36
Q

what are causes of acquired memory disorders?

A

Causes:
* Traumatic brain injury
* Anoxia
* Epilepsy
* Tumour
* Neurosurgery

37
Q

what is the corsi block test and what does is measure?

A

9 blokjes voor participant, proefleider tikt blokjes in bepaalde volgorde aan, participant moet die volgorde nadoen meerdere keren

measures short term memory

38
Q

what tests measure STM?

A

WISC-V series of numbers and

corsi block test

39
Q

Rey auditory verbal learning test

what is it & what age group

A

(Dutch version, 15 woorden test)

6-12 years old

40
Q

what tests measure recall/retention?

A

rey auditory verbal learning test

15 woorden test

story recall test (immediate and delayed reproduction)

41
Q

what is measured with the kaufman abc II test + what are the norms?

A

norms: 3-18 yo

non-verbal working memory:

  • Movements of the hand: copying movements of the hand in a certain order

Spatial memory:

  • remembering the position of a picture
    on a page
  • Recognising faces: recognising a certain face from a
    large group of faces
42
Q

what is Rey complex figure for implicit non-verbal memory and what are the norms?

A

6-89 yo

It includes immediate copy and delayed recall. Subjects copy complex geometric shapes and then reproduce them from memory. The neuropsychological dysfunction of a subject can be assessed by drawing performance, including attention and concentration, fine-motor coordination, visuospatial perception, non-verbal memory, planning and organization, and spatial orientation

disadv; strong learning effect

43
Q

EF: when do growth spurs in prefrontal myelinisation occur?

A

– 0-2 years
– 7-9 years
– 16-19 years

44
Q

when does object permanence develop?

A

after 7 months of age

45
Q

what are two aspects in the A not B task?

A

short term memory and inhibition of previous response

46
Q

name four components of EF

A
  • Attentional control
  • Cognitive flexibility
  • Goal setting
  • Information processing
47
Q

in normal development of attentional control, when does it develop?

A

starts in babies, and goes
quickly during the first years of life.
– Growth spurt around 15 years old

48
Q

when do cognitive flexibility, goal setting and information processing develop?

A

Later, usually btwn 7-9 yo and is relatively mature around 12 yo

followed by integration with executive control
