That memory sustained me as I sat by Devin's hospital bed, tapping away on my keyboard.
ANOVAs showed no group differences on neuropsychological tests of global dementia, cognitive speed/flexibility, verbal and spatial working memory, sustained attention and maximum tapping speed (Table 1).
Immediate and delayed verbal memory, spatial memory, sustained attention, reaction times, speed of information processing and mood were assessed 1 and 3 h after eating.
There were no strong relations between mathematical achievement and verbal short-term and working memory, sustained attention, response inhibition, finger knowledge and symbolic number comparison performance.
It has recently been proposed that chronic pain associated with MSD is the result of imprinting, an implicit and/or explicit learned response that has formed a maladaptive memory sustaining the persistence of chronic pain [ 12- 15].
Verbal and spatial memory, sustained attention, information processing speed, and verbal fluency on semantic cues were assessed at the time of MRI for each subject using the Brief Repeatable Battery of Neuropsychological Tests (BRB-N) [ 15].
