  • Decline in Processing Speed Tells Only Half the Story

    Open AccessE Walker, Elise Jade Walker et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

    Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) may experience cognitive difficulties, including slowed processing speed. Thus, we investigated if processing speed changes over time. From 1992–2001, 103 participants with SCD aged 3–16 years (n ≤ 8.99 = 45; n ≥ 9.00 = 58) completed cognitive assessments. MRI was available for 54 participants. Between 1992–2002, 58 participants consented to one or two further assessments. A repeated measures regression usi…

  • Executive Function and Processing Speed in Children Living with Sickle Cell Anemia

    Open AccessStephanie C Kelleher, Fenella J Kirkham et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Executive function and processing speed difficulties are observed in children living with sickle cell anemia (SCA). The influence of processing speed on executive function is not well understood. We recruited 59 children living with SCA and 24 matched controls aged 8-18 years between 2010 and 2016 from clinics in the UK. Children completed tests in processing speed and cognitive flexibility, subdomains of executive function. MRI scans were conduc…
