Four cognitive skills were assessed: speed of processing information, working memory capacity, cognitive flexibility and perceptual reasoning.
Those with lower ability -- reasoning skills, processing speed, and so forth -- prefer simple and predictable answers, because that is what they are capable of processing.
These analyses included visual intellectual skills, verbal intellectual skills, processing speed, and working memory as covariates.
To propose the sperm recovering efficiency (SRE) model, an equation that can be used to objectively quantify the technical skill of individual operators processing semen specimens in an andrology laboratory.
Among older adults [ 30], with adjustment for age, gender, education and ethnicity, WAs (mean WAs = 6.3 μg/L) was associated with a wide range of cognitive skills, including processing speed, executive function, and memory.
Level of processing: Moderately processed.
The superior temporal gyrus is implicated in schizophrenia and executes functions such as the processing of speech, language skills and sound processing.
36 There is evidence that training in speed-of-processing skills is associated with less incidence of depression at follow-up, 37, 38 improved health-related quality of life, 39 and self-rated health, 40 whereas training in reasoning skills is associated with improved ability to perform instrumental activities of daily living.
This loss of processing skills might be evident in the inability to do things such as balance a checkbook or forgetting to pay for an item.
