Cognitive Impairment Assessment through Visuospatial Memory Can Be Performed with a Modified Walking Corsi Test Using the ‘Magic Carpet’
BACKGROUND Subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have disturbances in their spatial navigation abilities and exhibit early deficits in visuospatial short-term memory. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether a quantitative (span score) and qualitative (evaluating navigation strategies used) analysis of the Corsi test (usual condition and complex navigation task) would b...
متن کاملThe Indiana faces in places test: preliminary findings on a new visuospatial memory test in patients with mild cognitive impairment.
Memory assessment is an important component of a neuropsychological evaluation, but far fewer visual than verbal memory instruments are available. We examined the preliminary psychometric properties and clinical utility of a novel, motor-free paper and pencil visuospatial memory test, the Indiana faces in places test (IFIPT). The IFIPT and general neuropsychological performance were assessed in...
متن کاملEcological assessment of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer disease using the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test.
INTRODUCTION The Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test (RBMT) is a short, ecologically-valid memory test battery that can provide data about a subject's memory function in daily life. We used RBMT to examine daily memory function in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer disease (AD), and in healthy controls. We also evaluated differences between the memory profiles of subjects wh...
متن کاملAssessment of verbal and visuospatial working memory in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's dementia
In addition to episodic memory impairment, working memory may also be compromised in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's dementia (AD), but standard verbal and visuospatial span tasks do not always detect impairments. Objective To examine whether more complex verbal and visuospatial working memory tasks result in more reliable impairment detection. Methods The Digit Span (forward...
متن کاملWalking Stroop carpet: an innovative dual-task concept for detecting cognitive impairment
BACKGROUND Several studies have reported the potential value of the dual-task concept during locomotion in clinical evaluation because cognitive decline is strongly associated with gait abnormalities. However, current dual-task tests appear to be insufficient for early diagnosis of cognitive impairment. METHODS Forty-nine subjects (young, old, with or without mild cognitive impairment) underw...
