A computer-based reading test for use as an index of premorbid general intellectual level in North American English-speaking adults.

Brief tests of vocabulary or reading ability are often used as an index of general intellectual level to hypothesize deficits in patients, to establish comparability of comparison groups, and as a covariate of performance on other neuropsychological ...

Differential effects on cognitive functioning in 13- to 16-year-olds prenatally exposed to cigarettes and marihuana.

Cognitive performance was examined in 145 thirteen- to sixteen-year-old adolescents for whom prenatal exposure to marihuana and cigarettes had been ascertained. The subjects were from a low-risk, predominantly middle-class sample participating in an ...

Task-set switching deficits in early-stage Huntingtons disease: implications for basal ganglia function.

Executive functions are likely mediated by interconnected circuits including frontal lobe and basal ganglia structures. We assessed the executive function of task switching in patients with early-stage Huntingtons disease (HD), a neurodegenerative ...

The 129 codon polymorphism of the prion protein gene influences earlier cognitive performance in Down syndrome subjects.

Recently, a frequent prion protein gene (PRNP) polymorphism consisting of a methionine (M) for valine (V) substitution at codon 129 has been associated with cognitive impairment in elderly individuals. Down syndrome (DS) is associated with mental ...

Age and task parameters in continuous performance tests for preschoolers.

66 children (M=56.2 mo., SD=10.9), recruited from preschool and daycare centers, were administered two continuous performance tests, one auditory and one visual. Both tests utilized a format with one target and one nontarget. Interstimulus interval was ...
