Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify changes in brain activity associated with the increase in working memory (WM) capacity that occurs during childhood and early adulthood. Functional MRI (fMRI) was used to measure brain activity in subjects between 9 and 18 years of age while they performed a visuospatial WM task and a baseline task. During performance of the WM task, the older children showed higher activation of cortex in the superior frontal and intraparietal cortex than the younger children did. A second analysis found that WM capacity was significantly correlated with brain activity in the same regions. These frontal and parietal areas are known to be involved in the control of attention and spatial WM. The development of the functionality in these areas may play an important role in cognitive development during childhood.

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal cortex are involved in spatial working memory.
“The dorsolateral pFC (DLPFC) and the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) have been linked to SWM functions ( Van Asselen et al., 2006;Koch et al., 2005;Klingberg, Forssberg, & Westerberg, 2002).”
From White Matter Microstructure in Superior Longitudinal Fasciculus Associated with Spatial Working Memory Performance in Children (2011) · cites this paper as Klingberg et al., 2002
The results are consistent with prior functional magnetic resonance imaging studies that implicate the left hemisphere in spatial working memory functions in children and adolescents.
“These results are also consistent with prior fMRI studies that implicate the left hemisphere in SWM functions in children and adolescents (Schweinsburg et al. 2005;Olesen et al., 2003;Klingberg et al., 2002).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
