BACKGROUND Low intellectual ability is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. Most studies have used a general intelligence score. We studied whether three different subscores of intellectual ability predict these disorders. METHODS We studied 2,786 men, born between 1934 and 1944 in Helsinki, Finland, who as conscripts at age 20 underwent an intellectual abil...
WAIS-R performance can be analyzed at the level of the IQs, factor scores, or subtests. This study examined the relative utility of such analyses in a closed-head-injured (CHI) sample (n = 233). Comparison of the sample with matched controls (n =117) indicated that factor scores may be the most appropriate level of analysis in clinical practice. This conclusion was supported by a series of disc...
In 2015, Dutton and Lynn published an account of a decrease intelligence in France (negative Flynn effect) which had considerable societal impact. This decline was argued to be biological. However, there is good reason skeptical these conclusions. The claim based on the finding lower scores WAIS-III (normed 1999) for recent sample, but careful examination data suggests that this fact limited su...
BACKGROUND Body sway increases with age. The purpose of this study was to obtain baseline data and the characteristics of balance performance in different age groups for balance strategy management. METHODS Healthy individuals (n = 107) were divided into young, middle-aged, and elderly groups, and assessed by computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) on a Smart Balance Master. The 6 subtests i...
With the advent of new interventions targeted at both acute and chronic spinal cord injury (SCI), it is critical that techniques and protocols are developed that reliably evaluate changes in upper limb impairment/function. The Graded Redefined Assessment of Strength Sensibility and Prehension (GRASSP) protocol, which includes five subtests, is a quantitative clinical upper limb impairment measu...
This article analyzes the interfering effect of the second language (L2) on the first language (L1) in native Spanish speakers living in the United States. We examined 3 linguistic aspects: (a) syntactic comprehension, (b) verbal memory, and (c) calculation abilities. We carried out 2 different studies. In the 1st study, we studied syntactic understanding in 50 Spanish-English bilinguals. For a...
BACKGROUND It has been asserted that assessment can and should be used to drive students' learning. In the current study, we present a cumulative assessment program in which test planning, repeated testing and compensation are combined in order to influence study effort. The program is aimed at helping initially low-scoring students improve their performance during a module, without impairing i...
OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC), which is comprised of 3 clinical dimensions (arm and hand function, leg function and ambulation, cognition), and an everyday functional skill, driving performance. DESIGN Cohort study. SETTING Medical rehabilitation research organization. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-nine individuals with documented m...
BACKGROUND Knowledge about the effects of GH treatment on cognitive functioning in children with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is limited. METHODS Fifty prepubertal children aged 3.5 to 14 yr were studied in a randomized controlled GH trial during 2 yr, followed by a longitudinal study during 4 yr of GH treatment. Cognitive functioning was measured biennially by short forms of the WPPSI-R or WI...
THEORETICAL INTRODUCTION In personnel selection the use of standardized intelligence test batteries became increasingly common (Schuler, 2000). The selection of the individual tests is commonly based on a thorough work place analysis and empirical studies on the construct validity and criterion validity of the test batteries. According to Embretson (1983) construct representation comprises an i...
