Good memory pictures5/2/2023 ![]() ![]() So they expected that once they eliminated word-memory from the experimental setting, dyslexics would perform about the same as other children. In other words, they wanted to test memory in dyslexic children without needing to rely on the ability to remember or recall words. Based on previous evidence indicating that declarative memory impairments in DD may be related to less efficient encoding strategies and/or problems with free recall, we predicted that the present paradigm would yield intact performance in the DD group. The aim of the present study was to investigate a previously untested aspect of declarative memory in children with DD, namely recognition memory after incidental encoding. I suppose they used pictures in their memory test simply because they could not expect children with known reading difficulties to remember words. Why? Because they thought they were studying declarative memory (memory of factual knowledge and personally experienced events), not picture-thinking. They had hypothesized that both groups of children would perform about the same. imaginary objects, and much better at remembering whether they have seen a picture before.īut apparently that was not the result the researchers expected to see. Dyslexic children are marginally faster at distinguishing whether drawings depict real vs. As I would anticipate, the dyslexic children performed significantly better on those tests of visual memory. The researchers compared the performance of group of 11-year-old dyslexic children with a group non-dyslexic children on tests of how well they remembered line drawings 10 minutes and 24 hours after first being shown the pictures. I was even happier, when I read the study, to see that the results were exactly as I had anticipated. So I was delighted to see the recent publication of a study with the title Enhanced Recognition Memory … in Children with Developmental Dyslexia. Cool, I thought – researchers who are focused on studying a dyslexic gift. ![]()
