In a triple blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 86 volunteers were randomized to receive Kali phos 6x or identical placebo 10 minutes before taking a psychological test of attention (Stroop Colour-Word Test).
Together with the lack of group differences on the remaining tests of attention (Digit Symbol Substitution, Trail Making Test, Stroop Color Word), we suggest a selective memory problem in the ε4 carriers.
Two visuo-motor tests of attention and psychomotor speed were included, the Digit Symbol Test [ 40] and the Trail Making Test A [ 41].
A small study of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder last year found that walks outdoors appeared to improve scores on tests of attention and concentration.
For example, undernourished children score poorly on tests of attention, fluency and working memory all of which affect success at school.
Students who design experiments like the white lab coat test should survey tests of attention and focus in addition to the Stroop test.
Not only did the participants get better at the task, they also showed improvements in tests of attention and working memory – cognitive abilities not trained directly by the game itself.
Studies led by professors at Wayne State University in Detroit and published in a journal on neurology found that nail salon work was associated with poor performance on tests of attention, mental processing speed, memory and verbal learning.
They might develop and perform experiments similar to the white lab coat tests showing that people who believed that they were wearing doctors' lab coats performed better on tests of attention and focus.
He spent two days immersed in tests and interviews, including a four-hour multiple choice test in plastic surgery and an hourlong computerized test of attention, concentration, memory and learning ability designed to pick up such neurologic conditions as early Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease.
