Processing Speed for Action and Semantic Memory
<p>Previous research suggests that the processing of affordances may require more perceptually relevant information than words can provide (Surber et al., 2018; Chainay & Humphreys, 2002). The present study investigates this hypothesis with the shoebox task used in Bowers and Turner (2003). A list …

Working Memory, Processing Speed, and Academic Achievement in Adults with ADHD
… ADHD has been associated with poorer processing speed and working memory as well as academic underachievement in some studies. However, more research is needed examining the relationship between ADHD, working memory, processing speed, and academic achievement in adults to help …

Working Memory and Processing Speed Training in Schizophrenia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
… In particular, working memory (WM) and processing speed (PS) have been named as two key areas of deficit in schizophrenia, and two domains of cognition that may be linked to higher-order cognition and daily functioning. This study aimed to investigate the near-transfer (transfer of gains …

Predicting Future Age-Related Cognitive Delcine: Processing Speed and Frontal Lobe Functioning
… men) examined the relationship between age and speed of processing as measured by five reaction time (RT) tasks (simple reaction time to complex reaction time involving varying amounts of inhibitory and working memory processing). Unlike previous research, this study additionally assessed the …

Attention, processing speed and executive functions in children with obstructive and communicating hydrocephalus
… spatial perceptual problems, and slowed processing speed. To date there is a paucity of research that compares the neuropsychological functioning of children with obstructive and communicating H C . This study aimed to compare attention, processing speed and executive functions in …

An Investigation of the Changes on Working Memory and Processing Speed in Children Enrolled at LearningRX
… to evaluate changes in working memory (WM) and processing speed (PS) within six to eight weeks, or 30 hours of the intervention. A sample of ten children and adolescents between 8 and 14 years participating in training. A WM and a PS subtest were administered at pre-testing, and a different WM …

Effects of Trauma Induced Stress on Attention, Executive Functioning, Processing Speed, and Resilience in Urban Children
… including attention, executive functioning, and processing speed (Blair, Granger, & Razza, 2005; DeBellis, Hooper, & Sapia, 2005). Prevalence rates among urban children suggest that 70-100% have been exposed to trauma (Dempsey, Overstreet, & Moely, 2000; Macy, Baryry, & Noam, 2003). Some of these …

Processing Speed in Children: Examination of the Structure in Middle Childhood and its Impact on Reading
… of this study was to examine the structure of processing speed (PS) in middle childhood by comparing five theoretically driven models of PS. The models consisted of two conceptual models (a unitary model, a complexity model) and three methodological models (a stimulus material model, an output …

The Relationships Among Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN), Processing Speed and Reading Fluency in Clinic Referred Children
… the relationship between RAN and general processing speed, and the extent to which RAN tasks uniquely predict the reading fluency of clinic-referred children. The purpose of the current study is to determine a) the relationships among phonemic awareness, RAN, general processing speed, and …

Working Memory and Attention as Predictors of Processing Speed in Elementary School Students: A Developmental Study
<p>Problem</p> <p>Many studies suggest that Processing Speed (PS), Attention, and Working Memory (WM) are major cognitive functions that collaborate to achieve a coherent cognitive system. The aim of the current study was to improve the conception of how these cognitive functions interrelate. The …

Contributors to processing speed deficit in old age: A focus on history of obesity and medical conditions
… cognitive functioning. Of the cognitive domains, processing speed is particularly important to study in this context, as its decline plays a large role in driving cognitive aging. Despite this, little is known about the impact of weight history on processing speed in old age. The present study …

Testing inattention as a predictor of graphomotor and cognitive processing speed in unmedicated, young adults, when depression and working memory are controlled
Deficits in Processing Speed (PS), a basic neuropsychological construct, are indicated in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (Shanahan et al., 2006; Wilcutt, Pennington, Olson, Chhabildas, & Hulslander, 2005), as well as in Depression (Andersson, Lovdahl, & Malt, 2010). PS is correlated with …
