DOI: 10.1007/s00213-018-5058-6
Abstract: RationaleParkinson’s disease (PD) impairs working memory (WM)—the ability to maintain items in memory for short periods of time and manipulate them. There is conflicting evidence on the nature of the deficits caused by the disease,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/arclin/acaa068.205
Abstract: Outside of Reliable Digit Span (RDS), there has been minimal research examining the utility of Digit Span (DS) score combinations from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—4th Edition (WAIS-IV) as possible performance validity tests (PVTs). We… read more here.

A-09 Attention in individuals with Heroin dependence measured by digit span versus continuous performance test
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology"
DOI: 10.1093/arclin/acz034.09
Abstract: Heroin dependent individuals appear to have significant deficits in attention which can be assessed using digit span forward (DSF) or the continuous performance test (CPT). The current meta-analysis examined differences between DSF and CPT results… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0182366
Abstract: Background Recent studies suggest that yoga practice may improve cognitive functioning. Although preliminary data indicate that yoga improves working memory (WM), high-resolution information about the type of WM subconstructs, namely maintenance and manipulation, is not… read more here.

DOI: 10.2174/1567205017666201008110854
Abstract: BACKGROUND Current conventional cognitive assessments are limited in their efficiency and sensitivity, often relying on a single score such as the total correct items. Typically, multiple features of response go uncaptured. OBJECTIVES We aim to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/brainsci10090650
Abstract: (1) Background: Cognitive features of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have never been specifically analyzed according to the lateralization of motor impairment. In the present study we investigated the cognitive performances of ALS patients… read more here.
