Studies led by professors at Wayne State University in Detroit and published in a journal on neurology found that nail salon work was associated with poor performance on tests of attention, mental processing speed, memory and verbal learning.
This paper uses measures of episodic memory and verbal fluency as indicators of cognitive function [19].
Non-verbal memory and verbal fluency were not impacted in remission from first-episode mania.
We hypothesized that testosterone would decrease verbal memory and verbal fluency and increase spatial ability compared with a placebo.
Independent sample t-test was conducted to analyze the results of simple reaction time, BCST, memory span, immediate/delayed recall memory and verbal fluency tests.
What's more, their ability to process information plunged: In the same time period, 25% had the average memory and verbal skills of 79-year-olds.
They were tested on block design and Mini Mental State Examination MMSEE) draw-a-figure, as well as tasks assessing episodic memory, semantic memory, procedural memory, and verbal fluency.
Valproate has been associated with impaired cognitive functioning in several domains, while studies of lamotrigine indicate less negative influences, even advantageous effects for certain domains such as memory and verbal fluency have been suggested (see Dias et al. 2012 for an overview of mood stabilizers and cognition).
Correlations between participant's recall score, IQ level, and score on the Grober & Buschke Test were computed to determine whether performances on Free Recall and Recognition tasks were related to Verbal memory and Verbal IQ as well as to Performance IQ.
72– 74 Most of the studies have found deficits in working memory, and verbal fluency.
