“…Design copy (Aronson & Hagberg, 1998) and design memory impairments found in PAE children (Mattson & Roebuck, 2002) have been correlated with binge patterns of consumption (Streissguth, Bookstein, Sampson, & Barr, 1989). Specifically, poor performance of heavily alcohol-exposed children on the BeeryBuktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI; Beery, Buktenica, & Beery, 2006) has been demonstrated by numerous researchers (Conry, 1990;Janzen, Nanson, & Block, 1995;Korkman, Autti-Ramo, Koivulehto, & Granstrom, 1998;Mattson, Riley, Gramling, Delis, & Jones, 1998;Uecker & Nadel, 1996). The absence of deficits in visuomotor ability, as measured by the Beery VMI, may be related to comparison of two alcohol-exposed groups: one group who received an alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder diagnosis and a group that did not (Greenbaum, Nulman, Rovet, & Koren, 2002).…”

A complex relation exists between memory and executive functioning (EF), particularly when learning and recalling multifaceted or extensive information ( Moscovitch & Winocur, 2002 ). A common instrument for evaluating this relationship is the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF; Rey, 1941 ; Osterrieth, 1944 ). The ROCF has proved particularly useful in pediatric research; however, little research has been conducted among children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). Seventy children (35 FASD, 35 control), aged 6 to 12 years, were tested using the ROCF. All participants with FASD had received a diagnosis according to the Canadian guidelines for FASD ( Chudley et al., 2005 ) using the 4-digit diagnostic code ( Astley, 2004 ). Significant group differences were revealed with children with FASD demonstrating substantial difficulties in organization, accuracy, and memory. Among children with FASD, a distinctive profile emerged, lending support to the argument that children with FASD experience deficits in EF and memory throughout their development. Information from the present study will not only help to improve understanding of functioning in this population but also provide insight into how to deal with EF and memory deficits in terms of testing, treatment, and intervention.

“…There are only a few studies that included children with PAE on the original NEPSY, which consisted of different subtests and domains and was only normed for children aged 5-12 years. Korkman, Autti-Ramo, Koivulehto, and Granstrom (1998) found that children with PAE were impaired relative to controls on the original NEPSY on subtests indexing inhibition Downloaded by [Flinders University of South Australia] at 13:16 04 February 2015 and attention, language, visual-motor abilities, and some aspect of memory (note that many of the subtests on the NEPSY-II differ from those on the original version). In a separate study using the NEPSY, Korkman, Kettunen, and Autti-Ramo (2003) found that alcohol-exposed children had deficits on measures of attention, language, motor abilities, visuospatial functions, memory, and learning.…”

The NEPSY-II is an effective and useful tool for measuring a variety of neuropsychological impairments among children with FASD. Children with FASD displayed a pattern of results with impairments (relative to controls) on measures of executive functioning (set shifting, concept formation, and inhibition), language, and memory, and relative strengths on measures of basic attention, visual spatial processing, and social perception.
