Team AckoFeb 8, 2024
Memory is a key component of cognition and plays an integral role in cognitive development. Memory impairments in childhood can have negative consequences for the development of language, literacy, social skills, personal relationships, and a sense of personal history. Additionally, childhood memory impairments often impede academic performance, particularly arithmetic, and can result in secondary deficits such as low self-esteem.

Steps:
1) Individuals with Down's syndrome are known to have significant deficits in short term memory. Memory span tasks are a commonly used measure of short term or working memory.
2) One of the early attempts to improve short term memory in children with Down's syndrome was to reduce auditory and visual distractions, e.g., using padded headphones, opaque goggles etc.
3) Children with learning disabilities often have impairments in working memory, which may contribute to deficiencies in other cognitive areas. For example, numerous studies have suggested that reading disabilities stem from a deficit in working memory.
4) Attention and memory deficits are the most likely cognitive impairments in both children and adults following head injury, and lead to significant dysfunction in daily activity.
