Hopkins Verbal Learning Test [[ 40]; HVLT] is an auditory verbal memory test designed to measure verbal memory and learning potential.
The Behavioral Pattern Separation-Object (BPS-O) is a visual recognition memory test designed to tax pattern separation [ 46].
The current study indicates that the neurobehavioral consequences of these effects are more elusive, and suggests that alternative neurobehavioral tests might be warranted, such as tests of social interactions, age-dependent effects on learning and memory, or tests designed specifically to assess dopaminergic or noradrenergic function.
(Later I read that, contrary to their appearance, echidnas have deeply convoluted brain hemispheres and sometimes perform better than cats in tests designed to measure memory and learning).
At the end of the study period, the subjects took a battery of tests designed to assess cognitive abilities — memory, focus, ability to make quick decisions, etc.
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.
Before and after this training, the participants went through a battery of cognitive tests, designed to measure skills such as memory and attention.
At the start and end of the six months, the women completed a battery of tests designed to study their verbal and spatial memory.
The same volunteers also performed worse on tests designed to check cognitive abilities like verbal memory and reaction times.
Children underwent a selection of standardised tests designed to assess: oral language, reading, short-term memory, attention and behavioural adjustment.
