Relationship of temporal lobe volumes to neuropsychological test performance in healthy children

Abstract: Ecological validity of neuropsychological assessment includes the ability of tests to predict realworld functioning and/or covary with brain structures. Studies have examined the relationship between adaptive skills and test performance, with less focus on the association between regional brain volumes and neurobehavioral function in healthy children. The present study examined the relationship between temporal lobe gray matter volumes and performance on two neuropsychological tests hypothesized to measure tem… Show more

“…Although correlated, the test instruments measure different functional abilities and implicate different brain regions, with the Raven being associated with executive abilities and prefrontal cortical functioning (Crone et al, 2009; Gray et al, 2003; Zanelli et al, 2010). The PPVT is a test of receptive language, a complex cognitive domain but one more closely associated with temporal lobe functioning than executive functioning (Levin et al, 2001; Strauss et al, 2006; Wells et al, 2008; Weyandt and Willis, 1994). However, further testing would be needed to assess the hypothesis that perinatal oxytocin differentially affects cognitive domains.…”

“…Rightward lateralization was not associated with better scores on either task. Both the PPVT, a test of receptive vocabulary, and phonological processing tasks involve frontal and temporal brain areas [Burton et al, 2000;Dronkers et al, 2004;Shalom and Poeppel, 2008;Temple, 2002;Wells et al, 2008]. Therefore, it is not surprising that the arcuate fasciculus, connecting the frontal and temporal regions, seems to play a role in both of these tasks.…”

“…The BRIEF has been shown to be sensitive in identifying “real life” difficulties with working memory in a variety of clinical populations, although to date, it has had limited validation in conjunction with neuroimaging findings. While there is evidence among clinical populations to suggest an association between reduced regional gray (Bearden et al, 2004; Sowell et al, 2008) and white matter volumes (Carey et al, 2008; Semrud-Clikeman et al, 2000) and cognitive/behavioral dysfunction, few studies have explored whether the same relationships exist in healthy, typically developing children (Bigler et al, 2007; Wells et al, 2008), and whether they can be captured with caregiver rating scales.…”
