Abstract:
:Memory impairment was demonstrated in a sample of 46 children and adolescents with brain tumors. The overall distribution of memory scores was skewed positively; over half of the total number of test measures were in the lowest quarter of the score distribution; and more than three-quarters of the individual subjects had at least one memory score in the impaired range. Verbal intelligence accounted for less than one-quarter of the variance in memory scores. The type of memory impairment was analyzed in relation to various demographic and medical variables: age at onset of tumor symptoms, age or duration of tumor, sex, pre-tumor developmental disturbances, pre-tumor closed head injury, post-tumor anticonvulsant treatment and post-tumor epileptic seizures. The working memory task, in which each in a succession of heard words is stored in temporary memory long enough to be compared to or contrasted with incoming words, was unaffected by these variables, as was memory for semantically-based word-picture associations. Memory for the serial order of pictures that corresponded to heard words varied inversely with the age at tumor onset such that the later the onset, the lower the memory test performance.
