  • Title: What to do about attention and memory problems in children with CFS/ME: a neuropsychological approach.
    Author: Tucker P, Haig-Ferguson A, Eaton N, Crawley E.
    Journal: Clin Child Psychol Psychiatry; 2011 Apr; 16(2):215-23. PubMed ID: 21571764.
    Abstract:
    Our recent research has shown that children with chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyopathy (CFS/ME) describe problems with focused attention, sustained attention, recall and stress. Neuropsychological testing demonstrated lower scores for sustained attention, switching attention, divided attention, auditory learning and immediate recall compared to normative data. This paper describes what is currently known about memory and attention problems in children with CFS/ME and suggests a variety of strategies that could be used to overcome these difficulties.
