Furthermore, the current findings have important implications for the design and interpretation of developmental studies of ERPs indexing language processing, and they highlight the need to take into account cognitive abilities both within and outside the classic language domain.
Lastly, we considered whether memory asymmetry indices, language lateralization and preoperative learning test performance were predictive of postoperative decline in individual subjects.
Using memory asymmetry indices, language lateralization indices and preoperative performance on neuropsychological tests, we were then able to predict a clinically significant postoperative verbal decline in all of our patients who underwent left ATLR.
To understand the brain processes of language at the mechanistic level of nerve cell circuits, it is essential to ask whether near-simultaneity of early brain processes indexing language implies strict synchrony or might still allow for fine-grained differences between activation times.
One measure is the Herfindahl index of language concentration.
This would explain why nonword repetition is a more sensitive index of language difficulties than more conventional verbal memory span tasks, which typically adopt a slower rate of presentation.
Secondary outcomes included patient characteristics (age, gender, body mass index and language) and (2) compliance with advice to seek an appropriate follow-up care.
The SIB-L scale is an index for language performance, and Ferris et al. [9] have demonstrated the effectiveness of memantine based on changes in this scale.
Twentypercentt of the women had a BMI in the overweight and 15.2 % in the obese ranges.> -wrap-foot> bodybody mass index, LOTE, language other than English, SD standard deviation More than half of the women (n = 202, 54.9 %) had actively sought GWG information.
Dependent variable for all models: z-score birthweight for gestational age (BWGA), as defined in Kramer et al [ 14] PWGA = placental weight for gestational age; z-score PWGA calculated as defined by McNamara [ 15, 16] # analyses adjusted for age, pre-pregnancy body mass index, maternal language other than French or English, diabetes, chronic hypertension and parity (nullipara vs. other).
