Article Abstract

Objective: Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exhibit difficulties with organizational skills such as task planning, managing materials, and organizing activities that have downstream consequences on academic functioning. At the same time, deficits in working memory have been linked with both the organizational skills difficulties and academic underachievement and underperformance observed in children with ADHD and have been hypothesized to account for the link between organizational and academic functioning. However, the extent to which working memory and organizational skills independently versus jointly contribute to ADHD-related academic difficulties remains unclear.

Method: The present study is the first to examine the unique and shared roles of working memory and organizational skills for explaining ADHD-related underachievement and underperformance in a clinically evaluated sample of 309 children with and without ADHD ( = 10.34, = 1.42; 123 girls; 69.6% White Not Hispanic or Latino).

Results: Bias-corrected, bootstrapped latent path analyses revealed that working memory and organizational skills together accounted for 100% of the academic achievement ( = -1.09) and 80.6% of the academic performance ( = -0.58) difficulties exhibited by children with ADHD. Working memory ( = -0.95 to -0.26), organizational skills ( = -0.30 to -0.11), and shared variance across working memory and organizational skills ( = -0.13 to -0.06) each independently predicted ADHD-related difficulties in both academic achievement and performance outcomes.

Conclusions: These findings are consistent with models suggesting that working memory has downstream consequences for functional impairments in ADHD, as well as evidence that organizational skills and working memory are each important predictors of ADHD-related academic functioning.

Many traditional classification networks directly use the limb two-lead signal (MLII) ECG signals as input for training. However, this method suffers from reduced accuracy when ECG features are not obvious, especially for premature heartbeats. To solve the issue, this paper proposed a novel network, namely CDLR-Net, that combines a Deep Residual Shrinkage Network (DRSN) with a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM).

Exploring the Effect of Negative Mood on Working Memory Subprocesses: An Event-Related Potential Study.

Biol Psychol

Institute of Brain and Psychological Sciences, Sichuan Normal University, Chengdu, 610066, China. Electronic address:

Working memory (WM) regulates information flow through gate mechanisms, consisting of four subprocesses: gate opening, gate closing, updating, and substitution. However, their neural mechanisms remain underexplored. While emotion-cognition interactions are well studied, the effects of negative mood on these subprocesses are unclear.

In the complex process of gene expression and regulation, RNA-binding proteins occupy a pivotal position for RNA. Accurate prediction of RNA-protein binding sites can help researchers better understand RNA-binding proteins and their related mechanisms. And prediction techniques based on machine learning algorithms are both cost-effective and efficient in identifying these binding sites.

Near and far transfer effects of working memory training: A preregistered, double-blind, randomized-controlled study.

Acta Psychol (Amst)

Department of Psychology, Chung-Shan Medical University, Taichung, Taiwan; Clinical Psychological Room, Chung-Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan. Electronic address:

Background: Previous research indicates near transfer effects of working memory (WM) training on updating, shifting, and inhibition tasks, although findings vary. Regarding fluid intelligence (Gf), studies yield conflicting results on the far transfer effects of WM training. The current study investigates whether different styles of adaptive visuospatial N-back WM training produce near and far transfer effects and whether individual differences moderate these effects.

Sichuan Basin (SCB) is a critical region in China facing the dual pressures of air pollution and population aging. This study constructed high resolution (1 km) PM datasets for SCB using advanced machine learning approaches - Super Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks (SRGAN) and Convolutional Neural Network - Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM). Evaluation results demonstrate good performance of the machine learning model (SRGAN: R = 0.
