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 neuropsychological tests of cognitive flexibility.
However, it ... hiện toàn bộ
Biased Visuospatial Attention in Cervical DystoniaJournal of the International Neuropsychological Society - Tập 24 Số 1 - Trang 22-32 - 2018

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 attention might be specifically affected in
patients with CD. Th... 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
analysis of the... 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
based on years ... 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 envision
reserve as... 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
delineate the l... hiện toàn bộ
Differential engagement of cognitive and affective neural systems in pediatric bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorderJournal of the International Neuropsychological Society - Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 106-117 - 2010
Alessandra M. Passarotti, John A. Sweeney, Mani N. Pavuluri
AbstractThis fMRI study investigates the neural bases of cognitive control of
emotion processing in pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) and attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Seventeen un-medicated PBD patients, 15
un-medicated ADHD patients, and 14 healthy controls (HC) (mean age = 13.78 ±
2.47) performed an emotional valence Stroop Task, requiring them to match the
color of an emotion... hiện toàn bộ
