摘要
The aim of the present study was to explore the mechanism of verbal working memory deficit of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Memory updating of verbal working memory was assessed by presenting 21 ADHD children and 17 control children age 7 to 12 during a verbal n-back task. The ADHD group performed worse than the NC group in the memory updating level 1 and level 2, but no difference in level 0. Effect sizes were 1.31 and 1.63; both were on a very high level. Additionally, with the increase of memory updating difficulties, the ADHD group showed a greater decline than the NC group. The effect size of 1.54 is on a very high level. ADHD children show deficits in the advanced process of verbal working memory, when engaged in memory updating. Research has theoretical and clinical implications for children with ADHD.
