This paper explores the cognitive mechanisms of prospective memory in children with hearing impairment through two studies. Study 1, based on questionnaire results, indicates that children with hearing impairment score higher on prospective memory tasks compared to typically developing children. Study 2, derived from experimental outcomes, reveals that children with hearing impairment perform worse on both event-based and time-based prospective memory tasks than their typical hearing peers, with time-based prospective memory showing a more pronounced deficit. The findings suggest that children with hearing impairment have weaker prospective memory abilities than typically developing children, and impairments in executive function may be a significant contributing factor to the failures in prospective memory among children with hearing impairment.

Background: The role of immune cell profiles at birth in determining the risk of celiac disease (CD) development is currently unestablished. This study aimed to determine the associations between T- and B-cell profiles at birth and pediatric CD.

Methods: This regional cohort study analyzed prospectively collected dried blood spots from 158 children with CD (median 7 years old at CD diagnosis) and two matched comparators each (n = 316).

Sleep is thought to play a critical role in the retention of memory for past experiences (episodic memory), reducing the rate of forgetting compared with wakefulness. Yet it remains unclear whether and how sleep actively transforms the way we remember multidimensional real-world experiences, and how such memory transformation unfolds over the days, months and years that follow. In an exception to the law of forgetting, we show that sleep actively and selectively improves the accuracy of memory for a one-time, real-world experience (an art tour)-specifically boosting memory for the order of tour items (sequential associations) versus perceptual details from the tour (featural associations).

In addition to episodic memory loss there is an increase in false remembering in ageing especially when the discrimination between studied and new items is difficult in a recognition memory task. The aim of this study was to identify the underlying psychological mechanisms of this behavior, specifically, the possible role of false recollection. We used the Mnemonic Similarity Task, a widely used task in neuroscience research developed to assess the behavioral manifestation of hippocampal computations, pattern separation and pattern completion.

Background: The effect of cultural differences in neurodegenerative diseases is not well understood. We aimed to investigate the cognitive profiles of English- and Spanish-speaking individuals with primary progressive aphasia (PPA).

Methodology: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted with 461 participants: 215 participants from Australia and 246 from Spain.
