BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE International guidelines recommend cognitive and mood assessments for stroke survivors; these assessments also have use in clinical trials. However, there is no consensus on the optimal assessment tool(s). We aimed to describe use of cognitive and mood measures in contemporary published stroke trials. METHODS Two independent, blinded assessors reviewed high-impact journ...

Stroke disrupts motor, sensory, and cognitive systems in survivors. Unlike in physical impairments, assessment of cognitive function is often inadequate, as no standardized procedure to monitor cognitive recovery post stroke exists. We evaluated a number of novel task-orientated tools designed to assess subtle cognitive deficits (including memory, attention, and executive functioning) in a samp...

The assessment of cognitive function is a challenging yet an integral component of psychological, psychiatric, and neurological evaluation. Cognitive assessment tools either can be administered quickly for screening for neurocognitive disorders or can be comprehensive and detailed to identify cognitive deficits for the purpose of localization, diagnosis, and rehabilitation. This article is a co...

Background: The prevalence of cognitive impairment among patients with epilepsy is about 70%. There is still no approved medication for the treatment of this problem. Objectives: The present study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of memantine in improving the cognitive function of patients with epilepsy. Materials & Methods: This is a pilot, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlle...

OBJECTIVE Even in remission, cognitive deficits are frequently observed in bipolar disorder. Because these deficits are assessed with complex and comprehensive tests, they seem to be neglected in routine daily practice; however, assessing them with short self-rated questionnaires could be beneficial. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between objective and subjective cognitive asse...

This study investigated how awareness affected learners’ intake and production in relation to their cognitive styles. It is assumed that learners’ cognitive styles may affect their ability to notice particular features in the input and, consequently, their intake and production. Adult learners of English were exposed to four English structures through four sets of problem-solving tasks, followe...

Neuropsychological assessment is a performance-based method to assess cognitive functioning. This method is used to examine the cognitive consequences of brain damage, brain disease, and severe mental illness. There are several specific uses of neuropsychological assessment, including collection of diagnostic information, differential diagnostic information, assessment of treatment response, an...

objective: the present study was aimed to correlate the clinical tests with the laboratory measures under dual task conditions in parkinson's disease (pd). materials and methods: eleven people with idiopathic pd (modified hoehn and yahr scores 1-3) were selected by simple non-probability sampling. center of pressure (cop) data obtained by force platform was used to calculate mean total velocity...
