The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Weighted Sum Method (WSM) methods were applied to the sustainability indicator ratings and weightings to evaluate an overall sustainability cardinal score of processing a particular ore feed.
General cognitive ability (a composite score of processing speed, social information processing, and cognitive control) accounted for group differences in emotional problems, whereas social information processing accounted for group differences in conduct problems.
The results of this study showed that emotional problems of NF1-patients could be explained by general cognitive ability (a composite score of processing speed, social information processing, and cognitive control), and that conduct problems could be explained by social information processing deficits.
In a study examining multiple cognitive domains, Andrews-Hanna et al. (2007) found that correlations between the medial prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate/retrosplenial cortex were positively related to composite scores of processing speed, executive functioning, and episodic memory among older adults.
Generally, the five-choice RTI score (an indicator of processing speed) showed the highest correlations (0.25-0.55) for children with 22q11.2DS, not only with measures within the domain of attention, but also with all measures of executive function.
27 In the present study, prospective and long-term memory minimally explained age differences in TOFHLA or NVS performance, consistent with previous LitCog research showing that scores on these memory tests are less strongly correlated with TOFHLA and NVS performance than scores on tests of processing speed or inductive reasoning.
In addition, lower scores on tests of processing speed were correlated with lower brain volumes and increasing levels of exposure.
Note that although we saw a significant association between the FES and speed of processing scores, this correlation was not seen when the analysis was limited to the proportion of those who were in an impaired range (p=0.244).
This relationship was attenuated when adjustment was made for DSST score, which is a measure of processing speed.
Factor scores for the cognitive abilities of processing speed, executive function (a second-order factor composed of subdomains of fluency, working memory, and switching), and episodic memory were examined based on a previously published confirmatory factor analysis (Hedden et al., 2012a).
In the children with anti-Ro/SS-A antibody-positive mothers, mean gestational age and birth weight were significantly lower (p < 0.05), as a result, the mean score of Sequential Processing and Mental Processing were significantly lower than that of negative mothers.
