Cognitive Flexibility in Primary DystoniaJournal of the International Neuropsychological Society - Tập 22 Số 6 - Trang 662-670 - 2016
Florian Lange, Caroline Seer, Reinhard Dengler, Dirk Dressler, Bruno Kopp
AbstractObjectives Although primary dystonia is typically characterized as a movement disorder, it is also associated with cognitive alterations in the domain of executive functioning which may arise from changes in cortico-basal ganglia circuits. Specifically, in comparison to healthy controls, patients with dystonia show deficits in neurops...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractObjectives: There is increasing evidence of non-motor, sensory symptoms, mainly involving the spatial domain, in cervical dystonia (CD). These manifestations are likely driven by dysfunctional overactivity of the parietal cortex during the execution of a sensory task. Few studies also suggest the possibility that visuospatial attentio...... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of age on forward and backward span tasksJournal of the International Neuropsychological Society - Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 475-481 - 2004
Robert Hester, Glynda Kinsella, Ben Ong
The central executive component of working memory has been argued to play an important role in the performance of span tasks, particularly backward span. Age-related decline in central executive function has also been reported, and yet there have been inconsistent findings to indicate that with increasing age, the discrepancy between forward and backward span increases. A secondary analysi...... hiện toàn bộ
The effect of education and occupational complexity on rate of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's patientsJournal of the International Neuropsychological Society - Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 147-152 - 2006
Ross Andel, Cheryl Vigen, Wendy J. Mack, Linda J. Clark, Margaret Gatz
We explored the effect of education and occupational complexity on the
rate of cognitive decline (as measured by the Mini-Mental State
Examination) in 171 patients with a confirmed Alzheimer's disease
(AD) diagnosis. Complexity was measured as substantive complexity of work
and complexity of work with data, people, and things. Average lifetime
occupational complexity was calculated ba...... hiện toàn bộ
What is cognitive reserve? Theory and research application of the reserve conceptJournal of the International Neuropsychological Society - Tập 8 Số 3 - Trang 448-460 - 2002
Yaakov Stern
The idea of reserve against brain damage stems from the repeated
observation that there does not appear to be a direct relationship
between the degree of brain pathology or brain damage and the
clinical manifestation of that damage. This paper attempts to
develop a coherent theoretical account of reserve. One convenient
subdivision of reserve models revolves around whether they envisi...... hiện toàn bộ
Long-term neuropsychological outcomes of very low birth weight: Associations with early risks for periventricular brain insultsJournal of the International Neuropsychological Society - Tập 10 Số 7 - Trang 987-1004 - 2004
H. Gerry Taylor, Nori Minich, Barbara Bangert, Pauline A. Filipek, Maureen Hack
Few follow-up studies of children with very low birth weight (VLBW, <1,500 g) have examined neuropsychological sequelae at later ages or neonatal risks as predictors of these outcomes. The present study assessed cognitive skills at mean age 16 years in 48 participants with <750 g birth weight, 47 with 750–1,499 g birth weight, and 52 term-born controls. Our major objectives were to d...... hiện toàn bộ
