关于唐氏综合症患者的认知和语言发展的一个公认的事实是，工作记忆特别差，听觉工作记忆比视觉工作记忆更差。工作记忆具有控制、调节和主动维护信息的功能，在日常复杂的认知活动中至关重要。因此，迫切需要找到有效和实用的干预措施，以改善唐氏综合征患者的工作记忆。本文回顾了有关排练训练的研究，并得出结论，它可以成功地用于提高唐氏综合症患者的工作记忆。然而，关于听觉工作记忆是否可以可靠地改善，改善是否可以长期保持，以及改善是否存在于增加注意力的任何效果之外，仍然存在问题。我们描述了我们正在进行的研究，解决这些问题。
One well-established fact concerning cognitive and language development in individuals with Down syndrome is that working memory is particularly poor, with auditory working memory worse than visual working memory. Working memory serves the functions of control, regulation, and active maintenance of information and is critical in daily complex cognitive activities. Thus, there is a strong need to find effective and practical interventions targeted at improving working memory in individuals with Down syndrome. The present paper reviews research on rehearsal training and concludes that it can be used successfully to increase working memory in individuals with Down syndrome. However, there are still questions about whether auditory working memory can be improved reliably, whether improvement can be maintained over the long term, and whether improvement exists beyond any effect of increased attention. We describe our in-progress study which addresses these concerns.
