Although specific criteria differ, each system codes for elements pertaining to spacing, organization, and comprehension of the task, among other criteria.
Cognition involves the skills to encode and recall information: rehearsal, elaboration, organization, and comprehension-monitoring learning strategies (Weinstein and Mayer, 1985); and the processes of problem solving and critical thinking (Schraw et al., 2006).
AUC7 was significantly and negatively related to three WISC-III factor scores: Freedom from Distractibility, Perceptual Organization, and Verbal Comprehension; the association with Perceptual Organization was the strongest.
In this study, we used the full scale intelligence quotient measure from the Chinese version of the WAIS-III [ 19, 20], which is based on the combined perceptual organization (POI), verbal comprehension (VCI), working memory (WMI), and processing speed index (PSI) scores [ 21].
There were similar trends of decreased scores in most cognitive subdomains especially verbal comprehension, perceptual organization, or processing speed.
In addition, three factorial subscales of WISC-III were used to assess language comprehension, perceptual organization, and memory/attention.
In fact, most cognitive domains showed similar tendency of impairment in epilepsy patients compared with control subjects, including significant differences in verbal IQ, freedom from distractibility, Stroop test, and marginal significance in verbal comprehension, perceptual organization, and processing speed.
As symptoms become more profound, they involve multiple regions of the brain that control long-term memory, name and facial recognition, language expression and comprehension, and organization and management.
In comparing the patients with TBM to the healthy controls, we found that the smaller GMVs of the patients in the right thalamus, right superior temporal gyrus, right precuneus, left putamen, and right caudate nucleus were associated with worse cognitive function, including verbal comprehension, perceptual organization, and working memory.
The statement of the former director of the National Intelligence, USA, Mike McConnell (as cited in Booz, Allen and Hamilton [2010]) states that survival and effectiveness of the organization are dependent on the comprehension of the functioning of blogs and wikis.
