Structures of Solids02:22

Structures of Solids

18.6K
Solids in which the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern are known as crystalline solids. Metals and ionic compounds typically form ordered, crystalline solids. A crystalline solid has a precise melting temperature because each atom or molecule of the same type is held in place with the same forces or energy. Amorphous solids or non-crystalline solids (or, sometimes, glasses) which lack an ordered internal structure and are randomly arranged. Substances that...

Structural Isomerism

Isomerism in Complexes
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...

Structure of Lipids03:38

Structure of Lipids

99.4K
Lipids include a diverse group of compounds that are largely nonpolar in nature. This is because they are hydrocarbons that include mostly nonpolar carbon-carbon or carbon-hydrogen bonds. Non-polar molecules are hydrophobic (“water fearing”), or insoluble in water. Lipids perform many different functions in a cell. Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of fats. Lipids also provide insulation from the environment for plants and animals. For example, they help keep aquatic...

Viral Structure00:56

Viral Structure

74.8K
Viruses are extraordinarily diverse in shape and size, but they all have several structural features in common. All viruses have a core that contains a DNA- or RNA-based genome. The core is surrounded by a protective coat of proteins called the capsid. The capsid is composed of subunits called capsomeres. The capsid and genome-containing core are together known as the nucleocapsid.

Antibody Structure

65.8K
Overview
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
The Y-Shaped Structure of Antibodies Consists of Four Polypeptide Chains
Antibodies consist of four polypeptide chains: two identical heavy...

Additional Subnuclear Structures02:10

Additional Subnuclear Structures

5.4K
The eukaryotic nucleus is a double membrane-bound organelle that contains nearly all of the cell’s genetic material in the form of chromosomes. It is rightly called the “brain” of the cell as it shoulders the responsibility of responding to various physiological processes, stress, altered metabolic conditions, and other cellular signals. 
The nucleus contains many membrane-less subnuclear organelles or nuclear bodies, such as nucleoli, Cajal bodies, speckles,...

Area of Science:

  • Neuropsychology
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Standardized verbal memory tests like the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT) and California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) are crucial for assessing cognitive function.
  • Existing tests lack standardized word lists in Japanese and uniform word difficulty, hindering direct performance comparisons, especially in aging research.
  • The California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) is noted for its structured word lists, potentially evaluating memory strategies, but requires validation with standardized materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate two Japanese verbal memory tests with equivalent word difficulty: a non-structured (NS) test and a structured (S) test.
  • To investigate the effects of aging on verbal memory comprehension using these novel word lists.
  • To establish normative data for these tests across different age groups in Japan.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a non-structured (NS) verbal memory test (akin to AVLT) and a structured (S) verbal memory test (akin to CVLT) using standardized Japanese word lists of equal difficulty.
  • Recruitment of 40 healthy young adults (18-25 years) and 40 healthy elderly individuals (65-80 years) for participation.
  • Administration of both NS and S verbal memory tests to all participants.

Main Results:

  • Elderly participants recalled significantly fewer words than younger participants, indicating age-related decline in verbal memory.
  • The elderly group exhibited a higher rate of word loss due to interference compared to the young group.
  • Elderly individuals demonstrated significantly better recall on the structured (S) test compared to the non-structured (NS) test, a difference not observed in the young group.

Conclusions:

  • Structured word lists enhance verbal memory performance in older adults by facilitating the use of memory strategies, suggesting their greater benefit for this population.
  • This study introduces the first standardized Japanese word lists for list-learning tasks, providing essential normative data for different age groups.
  • The findings underscore the importance of considering list structure in verbal memory assessments, particularly when evaluating cognitive aging.
