Although cognitive impairment after cerebellar damage has been widely reported, the mechanisms of cerebro-cerebellar interactions are still a matter debate. The cerebellum is involved in sequence detection and production both motor sensory domains, sequencing proposed as basic mechanism functioning. Furthermore, it suggested that knowledge may help to define predictive control processes. In spite its recognized importance, seldom investigated domains. Cognitive functions often analysed by...
Spatial span (Corsi's block-tapping test) and verbal (Wechsler Digits Forward) were measured in 1354 normal subjects, aged from 20 to 99 yr., who subdivided into seven age groups, three groups according education, sex. Analysis of variance showed that the main factors significant for spatial test, while only education test. The two spans examined held well up 60s, after this did differences appear other groups. On both tests there between divided education.
Spatial span (Corsi's block-tapping) and verbal (Wechsler Digits Forward) were measured in 1113 children aged 4 to 10 yr. from urban rural districts of the Regione Campania. Significant differences pointing a better performance “town” group found on both tests. Sex only spatial rest; boys performed than girls.
Spatial span (Corsi's block-tapping test) and verbal spans for digits (Wechsler Digits Forward Test) words were measured in 30 normal subjects 51 demented patients, divided into two groups (mildly severely demented) according to selective clinical neuropsychological criteria. Statistical analysis showed significant differences among the three spatial span. By contrast, controls' mildly patients' performances on both not significantly different. These findings are discussed light of theory...
Corsi's block-tapping test and WISC-R were given to 1122 children from 11 16 years of age. raw scores transformed into standard like those for the subtests. Reliabilities, score equivalents scores, correlations with on subtests, scales factor are presented. A Principal Factor analysis intercorrelations subtests shows a three-factor solution loading Third Factor. Results agree Wielkiewicz's (1990) hypothesis about construct underlying as "executive" short-term memory processes.
Abstract Background It is now widely known that children with severe intellectual disability show a ‘floor effect’ on the W echsler scales. This effect emerges because practice of transforming raw scores into scaled eliminates any variability present in participants low ability and intelligence quotient ( IQ ) are limited insofar as they do not measure lower than 40. Method Following H essl et al .'s results, authors propose method for computation Wechsler Intelligence Scale Children – 4th...
Individuals with Down syndrome generally show a floor effect on Wechsler Scales that is manifested by flat profiles and many or all of the weighted scores subtests equal to 1.The main aim present paper use statistical Hessl method extended Orsini, Pezzuti Hulbert sample individuals (n = 128; 72 boys 56 girls), underline variability performance Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition indices, highlighting any strengths weaknesses this population otherwise appear be flattened.Based...
Spatial path in Corsi's test is defined as the ideal line joining blocks tapped by Examiner so difficulty of spatial was analysed vis-á-vis numbers and number times criss-crosses itself through path. During an experiment with two different three crosses, analysis variance showed that both factors, i.e., gave significant results. The it possible to create a series decreased blocks, but increased which more difficult than greater crosses. Despite this, additional differences have been found...
Factor analysis for responses to the WAIS–R by 1,630 adults of Italian standardization sample produced two factor solutions in different age groups, and showed high factorial similarity when compared with same American solution. An estimate g variance components some difference data: a lower proportion common variance, greater specificity characterized version an almost identical error variance. For both change across groups was observed increasing specific decreasing from youngest oldest groups.
