The most consistent deficit observed in individuals with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has been in efficiency of information processing. To examine the possibility of a modality-specific impairment, the present study examined subjects with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and healthy controls on an auditory-versus visual-paced serial-addition test. 20 subjects with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 20 subjects with clinically definite Multiple Sclerosis, and 20 sedentary healthy controls were compared. One-half of the subjects in each group were administered the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test and the other half were administered the Paced Visual Serial Addition Test. The group with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was differentially impaired on the auditory relative to the visual processing task. The group with Multiple Sclerosis was equally impaired on both versions of the task. The results are discussed within the framework of Baddeley's model of working memory.
在慢性疲劳综合征患者中观察到的最一致的缺陷在于信息处理效率。为了研究特定模态损伤的可能性，本研究在听觉与视觉节奏的串行加法测试中对慢性疲劳综合征患者、多发性硬化症患者和健康对照组进行了检查。比较了20名慢性疲劳综合征患者、20名临床确诊的多发性硬化症患者和20名久坐不动的健康对照组。每组中有一半受试者接受节奏听觉串行加法测试，另一半接受节奏视觉串行加法测试。慢性疲劳综合征组在听觉处理任务上相对于视觉处理任务有不同程度的损伤。多发性硬化症组在两种任务版本上的损伤程度相同。研究结果在巴德利工作记忆模型的框架内进行了讨论。
