Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Cerebral neurological illness (CNI) participants
Identified from the department of Rehabilitation, Psychiatry, and Medicine and referred to the research staff via in-person communication, email or staff message
Railroad Test
This is a test designed to evaluate visual perception capacities and requires the participant to match photographs with railroads as a central theme. The participant is presented with a photograph image at the top of the screen and is asked to match it to one of the two, three or four choices in the lower portion of the display.
Swamp Test
This is a test of immediate visual memory/attention for photographs with swamp wetlands as a central theme. The participant is briefly presented with a photograph which is replaced by two, three or four choices, one of which the participant is asked to select as the initially presented image.
Presidents Recognition Test
This is a test of history knowledge and facial recognition using pictures of US presidents and non-president distractors. The participant is presented with two photographs and is asked to identify which is the picture of a US president
Judgment of Line Orientation
This test requires participants to visually match the orientation of line segments. This is a test of visual perception and was included as a relative equivalent of the Railroad Test.
Symbol Span subtest of the Wechsler Memory Scale-IV
This test requires participants to immediately recall a sequence of designs after a brief presentation. This is a test of immediate visual memory/attention and was included as a relative equivalent of the Swamp Test
Information subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV:
This test requires participants to answer factual knowledge questions. This is a test of fund of knowledge and was included as a verbal equivalent for the non-verbal Presidents Recognition Test.
Digit Span subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-I
This test requires the participant to repeat sets of digits forward, backward, and to sequence digits in ascending order. This is a test of immediate memory/attention and was included to investigate possible attentional correlates of the Swamp Test. This test includes a performance validity indicator that will permit analyses of validity indicators included with the experimental tests
Reading subtest of the Wide Range Achievement Test
This test requires participants to read words printed on a card. This is a test of word knowledge/academic achievement and was included to investigate the academic achievement concomitants of the Presidents Recognition Test.
Symbol Digit Modalities Test:
This test requires participants to visually match abstract symbols with numbers within a certain time period. The participant either verbalizes or writes the response on an answer sheet. This is a test of speed of information processing and was included to assess speed of response factors pertaining to all of the experimental tests as reflecting speed of information processing.
Dot Counting Test
This test requires participants to count arrays of dots presented on a card while being timed. This is a performance validity test and was included to ascertain validity factors pertaining to each of the experimental tests.
Non-CNI participants
Identified from the department of Rehabilitation, Psychiatry, and Medicine and referred to the research staff via in-person communication, email or staff message
