“…Individual differences in KHMT performance may reflect not only individual differences in verbal memory capacities, if verbal labels are recalled in order to correctly reproduce movement sequences, but also the extent to which there is spontaneous use of verbal strategies to aid movement sequence recall. Richardson and Barry (1985) reported that memory problems following mild traumatic brain injury might reflect a reduced ability to adopt effective strategies to support memory. Results of the current study are consistent with the possibility that impairments in KHMT performance reflect failure to adopt an effective verbal labelling strategy for hand postures.…”

This study examined whether a secondary verbal shadowing task influences recall for hand movements. Descriptive verbal labels associated with hand postures (e.g., "fist", "palm") were presented auditorily, concurrent with video presentation of hand postures, and the participant was instructed to shadow the words aloud. In the congruent verbal labels condition, the words were matched with the hand postures shown, and in the incongruent condition, the labels and hand postures were unmatched. In Experiment 1 (N = 18), a computerized version of the Kaufman Hand Movements Test (KHMT), which involves three distinct hand postures, was performed under congruent and incongruent labels conditions, and baseline. For Experiment 2 (N = 18), the same format was applied to a hand movement span task, similar to the KHMT, but based on seven distinct hand postures. For both experiments, shadowing congruent labels enhanced serial recall, whereas shadowing incongruent labels reduced recall when compared to baseline. Thus memory for hand movements was affected by the content of the secondary verbal task, consistent with participants spontaneously using a verbal recoding and rehearsal strategy to support this form of memory, a strategy enhanced through the provision of appropriate labels.

“…4 Persistent disturbance of memory function is the most common cognitive complaint even in mild TBI, with the most frequent memory impairment being recall of new information. [5][6][7] Following severe TBI, 36% of people have permanent and significant memory impairments. 8,9 McKinlay et al 9 reported memory deficits in 73% of cases 3 months postinjury.…”

“…The test of memory function was taken from an experimental investigation o f mental imagery reported by Richardson (1974), and subsequently employed in neuropsychological research (Richardson, 1978(Richardson, . 1979; Richardson & Barry, 1985;Richardson & Snape, 1984). Fifty nouns were selected from the norms of Paivio, Yuille & Madigan (1968) which had imagery and concreteness ratings of 6.0 or more, and which had frequency ratings in the count of Thorndike & Lorge (1944) of AA or A.…”

Cognitive function in diabetes mellitus: The effects of duration of illness and glycaemic control

Post-mortem studies suggest that chronic, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus might be associated with degenerative changes in the central nervous system. However, the evidence that these changes are reflected in any impairment of cognitive performance is equivocal. The study reported here evaluated the effects of duration of illness and glycaemic control upon memory function in 40 cases of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Duration of illness was inversely related to performance, but degree of glycaemic control had no effect at all. This suggests that any impairment of cognitive function associated with IDDM is more likely to be attributable to the impact of suffering from a life-threatening disease rather than to organic neurological damage. The effect of chronicity was somewhat more pronounced in the case of concrete material than in the case of abstract material, and it is suggested that chronic IDDM might be associated with a specific impairment in elaborative encoding.
