Cognitive functioning was measured using short and simple tests of orientation, episodic memory, executive functioning, and numeracy.
5 13 Outcome measures of RPSs in blind subjects are being sought, with grating visual acuity, motion detection, tests of orientation and mobility, tasks of daily living, as well as quality-of-life outcomes being investigated.
The MMSE consists of tests of orientation (in time and place), memory (immediate and short-term), calculation, language (naming, repetition, listening and reading comprehension, writing), visual spatial awareness, concentration and attention, and is suitable for detecting more severe cognitive dysfunction.
Research on orientation and navigation in bats has lagged considerably behind other animal groups [46] but within the last 2 years a laboratory based system to test hypotheses of compass use [9] and a field based system with the possibility to test hypotheses of orientation and navigation to a known goal [8] have been developed.
Note that the rotational differences between the original image pairs (1st column and 2nd column) were slightly small from the observation; the test results of orientation difference estimation as shown in the Table 1 were consistent to the observation, which were very close to the desired value.
To test for consistency of orientation bias we tested also the orientation biases for all sessions together (also on the population level).
In Experiment 2, observers detected symmetry in tests of variable orientation in the presence of either non-symmetric or symmetric masks filtered for orientations either parallel or perpendicular to the axis.
The design, fabrication and testing of an orientation independent, self-priming micro direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) is presented.
We present an original, easy to implement, reliable method of non-destructive testing of the orientation of carbon nanotubes by magnetic moment measurements performed in three perpendicular directions of magnetic field.
The limitations of our study include a small sample size considering the factorial trial of the two premedicant drugs and limited tests of the orientation score and the delayed visual episodic memory in place of the detailed psychomotor and battery of memory tests.
