Specializes in Child Psychiatry

Processing speed is: Information processing and includes attention to input information, working memory for active manipulation of information, and long term memory for storing information so it is available in the future. It increases during childhood and may be affected by numerous conditions. Psychological assessment can delineate strengths and weaknesses and proffer interventions. Practice improves skills.
