Intelligence Test Scores

An experiment reporting evidence of one type of learning impairment in schizophrenic and brain-damaged patients was replicated. Results supported the findings in the first experiment relating to these two diagnostic groups. A random sample of patients in the experiment was selected for additional testing. The correlations between performance in the experiment and intelligence test scores and also performance on a clinical test battery for diagnosing brain injury are reported.

Pediatric Populations

Early identification and diagnosis of hearing loss in infants and young children is the first step toward appropriate and effective intervention and is critical for optimal communicative and psychosocial development. Limitations of behavioral assessment techniques in pediatric populations necessitate the use of an objective test battery to enable complete and accurate assessment of auditory function. Since the introduction of the cross-check principle 35 years ago, the pediatric diagnostic test battery has expanded to include, in addition to behavioral audiometry, acoustic immittance measures, otoacoustic emissions, and multiple auditory evoked responses (auditory brainstem response, auditory steady state response, and electrocochleography). We offer a concise description of a modern evidence-based audiological test battery that permits early and accurate diagnosis of auditory dysfunction.

Kognitive Funktionen

Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: Kognitive Funktionseinschränkungen sind zentrales Merkmal schizophrener Erkrankungen und werden entsprechend im Behandlungskonzept berücksichtigt. Kognitive Remediationsprogramme gelten als wirksam, Effektstärken als moderat. Trainingsvarianten werden zur Effektoptimierung erprobt. Fragestellung: Ist gezieltes Funktionstraining in neuroplastizitäts-orientiertem Lernkontext effektiver als breitgefächertes Behandlungsprogramm und werden Effekte durch das Erkrankungsstadium moduliert? Methode: Bei 59 chronisch und 31 ersthospitalisierten schizophren Erkrankten wurden kognitive Defizite über Testleistungen der MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Test Battery gegenüber 25 gesunder Kontrollpersonen erfasst. Testleistungen vor, nach 4-wöchiger Interventionsphase mit zwei spezifischen Trainings oder Standardbehandlung und 3-monatiger Katamnese prüften den Einfluss von Interventionstypus und Erkrankungsstadium auf Leistungsverbesserung. Ergebnisse: Sowohl chronische wie erstmals behandelte Patienten aller Behandlungsgruppen verbesserten sich signifikant über die Messzeitpunkte, obwohl Defizite relativ zu Kontrollen fortbestanden. Schlussfolgerungen: Spezifisches Training verbessert kognitive Funktionen nicht über Zeit/Remissionseffekte hinaus.

Reduced Risk

There is new empirical evidence that the effects of impending death on cognition have been miscalculated because of neglect of the incidence of dropout and of practice gains during longitudinal studies. When these are taken into consideration, amounts and rates of cognitive declines preceding death and dropout are seen to be almost identical, and participants aged 49 to 93 years who neither dropout nor die show little or no decline during a 20-year longitudinal study. Practice effects are theoretically informative. Positive gains are greater for young and more intelligent participants and at all levels of intelligence and durations of practice; declines in scores of 10% or more between successive quadrennial test sessions are risk factors for mortality. Higher baseline intelligence test scores are also associated with reduced risk of mortality, even when demographics and socioeconomic advantage have been taken into consideration.
