Academic skill learning involves different memory systems. Procedural memory needs repetition, while episodic memories are formed from single events and concepts are stored as associative networks within semantic memory. During writing, various cognitive, phonological and motor processes are executed through working memory; whereas long-term memory provides the knowledge that will be recovered during textual production. Proper functioning of these memory systems -and neural substrates such as hippocampus and temporal cortical areas- are related to effectiveness of composing a text. Recovery of stored knowledge is involved in the course of expressive fluency, allowing the integration of the semantic components. Children who can divide attention and control processes through working memory, are more effective in writing text. During writing, working memory manipulates and keeps linguistic symbols online; the phonological loop admits and retains verbal information and performs a review that allows preserving the representations by commanding the lexical, syntactic and semantic processes. In this chapter, we will refer to the theoretical contribution of long-term and working memory systems to children’s writing skills, we will examine the neural substrates and cognitive development of these systems and we will present empirical evidence of their role in high and low-level components of the writing process.
La identificación y tratamiento de las consecuencias neuropsicológicas en la infancia ode los supervivientes de cáncer infantil es una práctica poco frecuente. Sin embargo, el abordaje neuropsicológico en la oncología pediátrica es de suma importancia. Las mejoras de tratamiento médico oncológico afortunadamente han aumentado la cantidad de supervivientes. Asimismo, la estrategia oncológica de abordaje es extremadamente agresiva para el tejido nervioso todavía en desarrollo. La aparición de secuelas neuropsicológicas a mediano y largo plazo es cada vez más frecuente. En Argentina, no se han encontrado registros de programas o evaluación neuropsicológicas en pacientes oncológicos infantiles. Se presenta un trabajo con un doble objetivo: a) revisar tratamientos oncológicos pediátricos y consecuencias sobre el Sistema Nervioso Central y neuropsicológicas; b) revisar las propuestas de abordaje neuropsicológico.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
