The eight domains were: attention, executive functioning, information processing, motor speed, verbal ability, verbal memory, visual memory, and visuospatial ability (11).
Neuropsychological studies show that patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have mild to moderate impairments in attention and executive functioning, information processing speed and memory (for reviews see [ 2, 3]).
Human psychology research suggests that changes in cognitive function (information processing) can also be reliable indicators of emotional state (especially valence).
In a recent study, he and colleague David Schnyer, also of the University of Texas, used a group of West Point cadets to try to understand how two distinct brain functions, information processing and information categorization, were affected by lack of sleep.
All participants underwent an extensive neuropsychological evaluation, including 11 different tests addressing five cognitive domains: visuo-construction, attention and executive function, information processing speed, memory and abstract reasoning.
In fact, various cognitive domains, including attention, executive function, information processing, and reaction time, are related to balance, gait, and fall risk.
These tests were used to construct the following cognitive domains: attention, working memory, executive function, information processing speed and episodic memory [ 47].
All subjects underwent a neuropsychological evaluation, including 11 different tests addressing the cognitive domains of visuo-construction, attention and executive function, information processing speed, memory and abstract reasoning [ 2].
The 539 genes groups of coexpressed neighbors are not members of regulons with any obvious common characteristic or function, nor are they associated with any of the three super-clusters of regulons in the network (photosynthetic functions, information processing, and stress responses).
Moreover, within the diabetes group cognitive functioning (domains information processing speed and attention and executive functioning) was compared between patients with high or low baseline HbA1c (dichotomised at the median level of 6.6 mmol/l), with or without baseline hypertension and with or without 'any macrovascular event' at baseline.
The diabetic group performed significantly worse on memory functions, information-processing speed, attention, and executive functions and language comprehension in the unadjusted analyses, but the mean differences between the groups were small (–0.21 to –0.35) (Table 2).
