In the United States, this typically involves Spanish translations of extant instruments (e.g., intelligence or speech, language, and memory tests), but the inventory of instruments in Spanish is still quite low.
Significant differences in the performance of aged and young adults were detected in both language and visuospatial memory tests.
Infants who developed encephalopathy following resuscitation had a higher risk of a low reading comprehension (OR 5.14 (2.06 to 12.80)), but limited evidence that they had higher risks of low scores in the other language, attention or memory tests, although the CI are wide and, for several measures, include the possibility of fourfold to fivefold increases in risk.
To that end, all individuals were preliminarily submitted to MMSE, and cognitively healthy individuals were selected for language and CANTAB visuospatial memory tests.
33 All patients who met these criteria were assessed with selected language, visuospatial learning, and memory tests, as well as the MMSE.
Most studies reported no significant difference in performance on tests for language, memory, attention/executive functions or visuo-spatial abilities.
At milder levels of impairment the information function remains low which indicates that the test domains; language, memory and praxis, and the measure as a whole do a relatively poor job discriminating among the different levels of impairment in the mild severity range.
The main measures were two tests — one reflecting language, memory and thinking and the other, ability to perform daily activities like eating and grooming.
We included 17 studies with tests assessing the cognitive domains: language, memory, attention, executive functions and/or visuospatial abilities.
The cognitive component of the CAMDEX, known as the CAMCOG, includes several tests designed to assess orientation, language, memory, praxis, attention, abstract thinking and calculation.
