Statistical analyses were carried out in individuals who met the EWRT learning criteria (i.e., were able to successfully learn the list of words during the learning phase; NF1,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a040, 19 females; typically developing,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a084, 44 females). The EWRT was used to investigate accelerated long\u2010term forgetting across delays of 2 and 30\u2009minutes, and 7\u2009days. Correlational analyses were used to examine the relationships between accelerated long\u2010term forgetting and other cognitive measures in children with NF1.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the subset of children who were able to learn the EWRT criterion, there was no group difference in recall performance at a traditional delay interval of 30\u2009minutes. Group differences were evident at a 7\u2010day interval for recall and recognition. In children with NF1, this long\u2010term forgetting (difference in proportion of recall between 7\u2009days and 30\u2009minutes) was not significantly associated with attention or working memory difficulties.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Interpretation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study suggests that children with NF1 who can initially learn verbal information and retain it over a short delay of 30\u2009minutes may forget this information at an accelerated rate compared to their unaffected peers. Findings may account for the reported subjective memory difficulties in children with NF1 despite normal performance on standardized memory tests. This insight challenges conventional perspectives on memory in children with NF1 and emphasizes the importance of extending assessment timelines beyond traditional boundaries.<\/jats:p>\n
