We enrolled 30 juveniles (12-16 y) consisting of 15 pornography addiction and 15 nonaddiction subjects. We used Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) to measure verbal memory, Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCFT) for visual memory, along with Trail Making Test A and B (TMT-A and TMT-B) for attention. We found a significant reduction in the RAVLT A6 result of the addiction group (nonaddiction vs addiction: 13.47 {$\pm$} 2.00 vs 11.67 {$\pm$} 2.44, MD ? ? 1.80, p ? 0.04), but not in ROCFT or attention tests. Analysis in sex subgroups yielded no sex-specific difference. We concluded that pornography addiction may be associated with impaired recent verbal memory in juveniles, regardless of sex and without association to attention.}, author = {Prawiroharjo, Pukovisa and Ellydar, Hainah and Pratama, Peter and Edison, Rizki Edmi and Suaidy, Sitti Evangeline Imelda and Amani, Nya' Zata and Carissima, Diavitri}, issn = {2090-1860} }
