Additionally, in this study we administered an extensive cognitive battery, which covered several cognitive domains and included computerised cognitive testing to increase sensitivity in identifying deficits.
A useful alternative approach to identifying deficits in selective attention is to examine their downstream effects, for instance the influence of top-down biasing signals on activity in functionally differentiated and spatially dissociable sensory regions [19], [20].
Associated health professionals can have a significant role to play in identifying deficits and addressing these.
This is consistent with previous studies identifying deficits in learning (10), navigation (11, 12), foraging (14, 30), and colony growth (13, 14).
Trained teachers constitute valid screening agents for identifying deficits in visual acuity according to age-related expectations, including children aged 3 5 years old.
Behavioral markers identifying deficits in sensorimotor processing and social skills are apparent as early as one year of age [ 2, 3].
Research and public health measures aimed at identifying deficits and disparities in medically underserved groups, and mitigating these differences, have become high priorities of government health care program policies.
Obama has identified deficit reduction, immigration reform and gun control as his top policy priorities for the first year of his second term.
A recently identified deficit in inhibitory serine-phosphorylation of GSK3 in Fmr1 knockout mice raised the possibility that dysregulated GSK3 contributes to some of the behavioral phenotypes of these mice [20], [21].
We also contrasted those definitions to the Proxy for the Deficit Syndrome PDSS) to identify deficit syndrome (DS) in the same FEP cohort.
To further assess recall and recognition memory we used the Doors and People test (DPT), which is specifically designed to identify deficits in these functions.
