“…Nevertheless, the NEPSY-II is a comprehensive neuropsychological battery consisting of a number of tests measuring domains of attention and executive functioning, language, memory, sensorimotor, social perception, and visuospatial processing. The NEPSY-II (normed for ages 3 to 16 years) offers many advantages over separate domain tests because it is normed on one group of individuals (across a wide age range) allowing for direct comparison across subtests, and it is designed to create neuropsychological profiles for children (Davis & Matthews, 2010).…”

The NEPSY-II is an effective and useful tool for measuring a variety of neuropsychological impairments among children with FASD. Children with FASD displayed a pattern of results with impairments (relative to controls) on measures of executive functioning (set shifting, concept formation, and inhibition), language, and memory, and relative strengths on measures of basic attention, visual spatial processing, and social perception.

“…The Neuropsychological Assessment 2nd Edition (NEPSY–II) is a valid and reliable assessment of children and adolescents, for ages 3 through 16 years, on six neuropsychological domains (Korkman et al 2007 ; Davis and Matthews 2010 ). The Memory for Designs (MD) subtest was developed to assess spatial and content memory for novel visual forms.…”

Objectives: Studies in humans and rodents suggest that metformin, a medicine typically used to treat type 2 diabetes, may have beneficial effects on memory. We sought to determine whether metformin improved spatial or verbal memory in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and overweight associated with atypical antipsychotic use.Methods: We studied the effects of metformin (Riomet®) concentrate on spatial and verbal memory in 51 youth with ASD, ages 6 through 17 years, who were taking atypical antipsychotic medications, had gained significant weight, and were enrolled in a trial of metformin for weight management. Phase 1 was a 16-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group comparison of metformin (500–850 mg given twice a day) versus placebo. During Phase 2, all participants took open-label metformin from week 17 through week 32. We assessed spatial and verbal memory using the Neuropsychological Assessment 2nd Edition (NEPSY–II) and a modified children's verbal learning task.Results: No measures differed between participants randomized to metformin versus placebo, at either 16 or 32 weeks, after adjustment for multiple comparisons. Sixteen-week change in memory for spatial location on the NEPSY–II was nominally better among participants randomized to placebo. However, patterns of treatment response across all measures revealed no systematic differences in performance, suggesting that metformin had no effect on spatial or verbal memory in these children.Conclusions: Although further study is needed to support these null effects, the overall impression is that metformin does not affect memory in overweight youth with ASD who were taking atypical antipsychotic medications.
