Area of Science:

  • Neuropsychology
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Dementia diagnosis relies on comprehensive cognitive assessments.
  • Trail-making Tests (TMT) and Shipley Conceptual Quotient (SCQ) are used to evaluate cognitive function.
  • Early detection of cognitive impairment is crucial for timely intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of Trail-making Parts A and B and the Shipley Conceptual Quotient in identifying dementia.
  • To assess cognitive performance in a group of patients compared to healthy controls.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 18 patients and 18 age-matched controls participated.
  • Participants underwent assessments using Trail-making Parts A and B and the Shipley Conceptual Quotient.
  • Statistical analysis was performed to compare performance between groups.

Main Results:

  • The index patients did not exhibit dementia based on the cognitive tests administered.
  • Performance on Trail-making Parts A and B and Shipley Conceptual Quotient differentiated between patients and controls.
  • No significant indicators of dementia were found in the patient group.

Conclusions:

  • Trail-making Parts A and B and the Shipley Conceptual Quotient are effective in distinguishing cognitive function in this patient cohort.
  • The cognitive tests used did not indicate dementia in the index patient group.
  • Further research with larger cohorts is warranted to confirm these findings.
