The impact of Information processing speed on visuospatial memory encoding and retrieval in multiple sclerosis

Key Points

• This research aims to explore how information processing speed affects visuospatial memory tasks in individuals with multiple sclerosis.
• Examined performance on visuospatial learning and memory tasks
• Focused on encoding phases and active retrieval
• Compared results based on information processing speed impairment
• Individuals with IPS impairment showed poorer performance on visuospatial tasks
• Deficits were particularly evident during later encoding phases and active retrieval
• Implications suggest that IPS should be considered in evaluations of memory performance in MS
