We administered neuropsychological tests to assess memory, learning, executive function, measures of attention, visuospatial function, affective state, and motor function.
Then came the social, learning, executive function, sensory and auditory challenges.
Key words used to search the literature were: cognition, attention, memory, learning, executive function, neurocognitive, neuropsychological, and intelligence.
Scaffolding is a component in the Tools of the Mind curriculum which has been shown to enhance learning, executive functioning, and development in preschool children [ 119, 120].
The confidence intervals for the AUCs for ASD, AD/HD, DCD, perception-DAMP, learning, executive functioning-AD/HD, tics all differed from the random 0.5 AUC (p < 0.001).
A recent review of the literature found over 60 studies examining memory and attention performance in PTSD subjects, but few studies have examined learning, executive functioning, and emotional reaction in this population.
A battery of cognitive tests including tests of memory and learning, executive function, and visual-spatial function was administered to 180 subjects (101 fish eaters and 79 non-fish eaters).
Subscales include inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity, learning, executive functioning, aggression and peer relations, as well as subscales mapping onto DSM-IV criteria [ 16] for ADHD (inattentive), ADHD (Hyperactive-impulsive), ADHD combined, Conduct Disorder, and Oppositional-Defiant Disorder.
Phenotypes commonly associated with FASD include impairments in cognition, learning, executive function, judgment, attention and social adaptation (Herman et al., 2008; Jirikowic et al., 2008; Mattson et al., 1998).
Table 2 summarises the mean cognitive performance scores for patients at 6 months after the acute episode and for healthy controls in the following domains: memory and learning, executive functions, working memory, processing speed, attention and intelligence.
