Abstract

Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate working memory (WM) abilities in normal hearing individuals with and without misophonia using simple and complex working memory tasks and to correlate WM abilities with severity of misophonia.

Method: The data was collected employing a standard group comparison and a non-probability purposive sampling method. The current study comprised of 40 participants aged 18-30 years, who were classified into two groups (with and without misophonia) based on the scores obtained in Misophonia Assessment Questionnaire (MAQ). Simple tasks including forward digit span and backward digit span and complex tasks including operation span and reading span were used to assess WM abilities.

Results: WM abilities, measured using simple WM tasks, were comparable between the two groups. Among the complex tasks, although the operation span scores revealed no statistically significant difference, there was a statistically significant difference in the reading span scores.

Conclusions: The performance of individuals with misophonia remained similar to those without misophonia in simple WM tasks. However, their WM performance becomes poorer as tasks become more demanding.

期刊介绍： Promoting the interests of scientific psychology and its researchers, QJEP, the journal of the Experimental Psychology Society, is a leading journal with a long-standing tradition of publishing cutting-edge research. Several articles have become classic papers in the fields of attention, perception, learning, memory, language, and reasoning. The journal publishes original articles on any topic within the field of experimental psychology (including comparative research). These include substantial experimental reports, review papers, rapid communications (reporting novel techniques or ground breaking results), comments (on articles previously published in QJEP or on issues of general interest to experimental psychologists), and book reviews. Experimental results are welcomed from all relevant techniques, including behavioural testing, brain imaging and computational modelling. QJEP offers a competitive publication time-scale. Accepted Rapid Communications have priority in the publication cycle and usually appear in print within three months. We aim to publish all accepted (but uncorrected) articles online within seven days. Our Latest Articles page offers immediate publication of articles upon reaching their final form. The journal offers an open access option called Open Select, enabling authors to meet funder requirements to make their article free to read online for all in perpetuity. Authors also benefit from a broad and diverse subscription base that delivers the journal contents to a world-wide readership. Together these features ensure that the journal offers authors the opportunity to raise the visibility of their work to a global audience.
