{"pk":24685,"title":"The Impact of COVID infection on Cognition in 6-12 Year Old Children","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Long COVID is defined as the persistence of COVID-19 symptoms for more than 12 weeks following infection (NICE, 2022). This condition is estimated to affect nearly 2 million people in the UK (ONS, 2023). Long COVID patients experience symptoms affecting multiple organ systems (Davis et al., 2023; Raveendran et al., 2021) including the CNS, and Cognitive symptoms (Davis et al., 2021; Guo et al., 2022a) and deficits (Guo et al., 2022b; Hampshire et al., 2021) have been demonstrated in adult sufferers. Despite the condition occurring in 13% of children who contract COVID-19 (NICE, 2022) there is little research on the cognitive impacts of Long COVID in pediatric samples. This study explores memory (item- and associative) and language (semantic and syntactic) across 80 6-12 year olds with and without history of covid infection, relating these to parent-reported cognitive symptoms including brain fog and short-term memory problems.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Psychology; Cognitive development; Development; Language understanding; Memory; Clinical methods; Developmental analysis; Survey"}],"section":"Abstracts","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3nt5n5tf","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Lucy","middle_name":"G","last_name":"Cheke","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Cambridge","department":""},{"first_name":"Sabine","middle_name":"","last_name":"Yeung","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Cambridge","department":""},{"first_name":"Seraphina","middle_name":"","last_name":"Zhang","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Cambridge","department":""},{"first_name":"Emma","middle_name":"JL","last_name":"Weisblatt","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Cambridge","department":""},{"first_name":"Mirjana","middle_name":"","last_name":"Bozic","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Cambridge","department":""},{"first_name":"Zoe","middle_name":"","last_name":"Hemsley","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Cambridge","department":""},{"first_name":"Panyuan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Guo","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Cambridge","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2024-01-01T12:00:00-06:00","render_galley":{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24685/galley/21626/download/"},"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24685/galley/14283/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24685/galley/18107/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24685/galley/21626/download/"}]}
