Abstract

Short-term memory (STM) challenges are often observed in children with Down syndrome (DS), but existing early STM measures introduce measurement confounds in this population. To address the need for valid early STM measures for future DS interventions, this study evaluated the psychometric properties of a modified Corsi Span task, administered to 110 children with DS. Results indicated that the modified Corsi task has feasibility in the age range of 5-8 years and is scalable across chronological and mental ages. Minimal practice effects and evidence of test-retest reliability and convergent validity were observed. Implications for using a modified Corsi task in studies of early STM and treatment trials for children with DS are discussed.

改进的Corsi任务评估唐氏综合症儿童视觉空间短期记忆。

短期记忆（STM）挑战通常在唐氏综合症（DS）儿童中观察到，但现有的早期STM测量方法在这一人群中引入了测量混淆。为了解决对未来退行性痴呆干预的早期有效STM措施的需求，本研究评估了110名退行性痴呆儿童的改进Corsi Span任务的心理测量特性。结果表明，改进后的Corsi任务在5-8岁的年龄范围内具有可行性，并且在生理年龄和心理年龄之间具有可扩展性。观察到最小的实践效应和重测信度和收敛效度的证据。讨论了在儿童退行性痴呆的早期STM研究和治疗试验中使用改良Corsi任务的意义。
