Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Cases
Individuals diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome recruited at the beginning of rehabilitative treatment at the Istituto Auxologico Italiano, IRCCS, San Giuseppe Hospital (Italy).
Counterfactual Inference Test
All participants will be asked to complete the Counterfactual Inference Test - CIT (McNamara et al., 2003), a neuropsychological test that measures the ability to produce counterfactual-derived inferences. Moreover, the decision-making ability will be specifically tested through ad-hoc questionnaire (i.e., the Decision-Making Questionnaire). Finally, all participants will be screened with an extensive neuropsychological assessment, particularly on executive functioning.
Controls
Age-matched healthy individuals recruited outside the hospital through personal contacts of the researchers and word-of-mouth.
