Cognitive status is often assessed with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), which briefly assesses delayed recall, orientation, language, and attention.
The IDEA screen therefore includes delayed recall, orientation, two measures of frontal lobe function, verbal fluency and abstract reasoning, praxis and long-term memory.
The second factor was related to memory: temporal orientation, delayed recall and spatial orientation.
The second factor explained 9.2% of the variance and included temporal orientation, delayed recall and spatial orientation.
It delayed bi-orientation of bivalents on meiosis I spindles, caused increased bivalent stretching, and greatly increased Aurora B/C kinase activity at kinetochores, which was accompanied by an increase in lateral and a decrease in end on kinetochore-microtubules attachments.
All-cause mortality also decreased with increases in MMSE subscale scores for time orientation, place orientation, delayed recall, naming objects, and listening and obeying.
Fillenbaum et al [ 3] indicated two factors; first factor (praxis, language, attention/concentration and registration), second factor (delayed recall, temporal orientation and spatial orientation) in the MMSE to 36 patients with probable diagnosis of AD at early stage.
Brugnolo et al [ 21] also found two factors: their first factor was related to temporal orientation, delayed recall, attention/concentration, constructional praxis, spatial orientation and verbal comprehension and their second factor was related to reading a sentence, writing a sentence, naming, immediate memory and verbal repetition in a study of patients with mild to moderate AD.
The second factor included constructional praxis, delayed recall, temporal orientation, attention/concentration and spatial orientation.
