Numerous reports \nhave suggested memory deficits in both humans and animals \nexposed prenatally to alcohol. However, the nature of these \nmemory deficits remains to be characterized. Recently children \nwith fetal alcohol syndrome were shown to have learning \nand memory deficits on a verbal learning and memory measure \nthat involved free recall and recognition memory. The current \nstudy seeks to further characterize memory functioning \nin children with heavy prenatal alcohol exposure by evaluating \npriming performance. The choice of task is also relevant \ngiven previous studies of memory performance in patient \ngroups with and without involvement of the basal ganglia, \na group of structures known to be affected in fetal alcohol \nsyndrome. Three groups were evaluated for lexical priming, \nfree recall, recognition memory, and verbal fluency: (1) \nchildren with heavy prenatal alcohol exposure; (2) children \nwith Down syndrome; and (3) nonexposed controls. The children \nwith Down syndrome showed significantly less priming than \nalcohol-exposed children, who did not differ from controls. \nIn addition, the alcohol-exposed children were impaired \non the free recall task but not on the recognition memory \ntask, whereas the children with Down syndrome performed \nsignificantly worse than the alcohol-exposed group on both \ntasks. Finally, on the verbal fluency task, children with \nheavy prenatal alcohol exposure were impaired on both category \nand letter fluency, but the degree of impairment was greater \nfor letter fluency. These results further characterize \nthe memory deficits in children with heavy prenatal alcohol \nexposure suggesting that in spite of learning and memory \ndeficits, they are able to benefit from priming of verbal \ninformation.
