Processing speed interacts with working memory efficiency in multiple sclerosis.
Information processing speed was assessed using the visual threshold serial addition test (VT-SAT), a computerized modification of the PASAT designed to assess processing speed by controlling for performance accuracy. Persons with MS (N=43) and healthy individuals (N=32) were administered the VT-SAT varying working memory loads (1-back versus 2-back). Results indicated that at the lower working...
متن کاملExamining the link between information processing speed and executive functioning in multiple sclerosis.
Slowed information processing speed (IPS) is frequently reported in those with multiple sclerosis (MS), and at least 20% are compromised on some aspect of executive functioning also. However, any relationship between these two processes has not been examined. The Sternberg Memory Scanning Test, Processing Speed Index (WAIS-III), Delis Kaplan Executive Function System (D.KEFS), and Working Memor...
متن کاملTHE EFFECTIVENESS OF COGNITIVE REHABILITATION ON PROCESSING SPEED, WORKING MEMORY CAPACITY, EXECUTIVE FUNCTION, AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS PATIENTS: A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
Background & Aims: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that is the most common cause of disability and may be associated with cognitive impairment. Despite the implementation of cognitive rehabilitation (CR) studies in patients with MS, there are still no clear and conclusive results. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of CR on speed and WM capacity, executive funct...

Objective. The purpose of this study was to analyze factors related to lower walking speed in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Methods. A cross-sectional survey was conducted. The study participants were 120 consecutive PwMS, who were able to walk, even with device assistance. Demographic and clinical data were collected. Walking speed was measured in 10 m walk test. Possible factors wer...
متن کاملAlemtuzumab Improves Cognitive Processing Speed in Active Multiple Sclerosis—A Longitudinal Observational Study
Background Several disease-modifying drugs have shown promising effects on cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis (MS). Alemtuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody, is effective in controlling disease activity, however, has not been evaluated for its effects on cognition in detail so far. Objective To explore the influence of alemtuzumab on cognitive impairment in active relapsing-remitt...
