Phonological Working Memory Process

ABSTRACT The examination of central executive (CE) and storage/rehearsal processes to working memory (WM) deficits in adults with ADHD was the first to utilize a statistical procedure to determine the relationship these variables. Objective observation of adults completing phonological and visuospatial working memory tasks, which consist of ADHD-21 and HC-16 a total of thirty-seven. Although each adult group worked well throughout the phonological task versus the visuospatial task, which indicates adults who have ADHD posses’ notable deficits through these working memory modes. On another note, the twenty-one adults with ADHD remember out of proportion less phonological and visuospatial reaction requires growth. Overall, the central
(1) pre- and post-test manage situations that do not place claim on the central executive and subsystem storage/rehearsal processes, and supply an experimental way to investigate the effects of consistently forcing requests on working memory component processes; (2) a phonological working memory task conducted at four different set sizes; and (3) a visuospatial working memory task directed at four separate set sizes. Working memory element events that are insufficient in adults have heuristic and applied
Ten male and eleven female participants make up the ADHD group and the HC group include 10 male and 6 female participants, who gave consent to the University before data was collected. All criteria were met by the ADHD group, which includes being diagnosed by a clinical psychologist, symptom count of at least four on the Barkley ADHD Current Symptoms Scale-Self Report (Barkley & Murphy, 2006), symptom count of at least six on the Barkley ADHD Childhood symptoms Scale-Other Report (Barkley & Murphy, 2006) completed by a parent/guardian. A criterion count of 4 (rather than 6) on the Current Symptoms Scale was utilized based on literature suggesting childhood cutoffs may be too restrictive for adults (Barkley & Murphy,
