概括
新的语言和记忆测试 (LMT) 准确地测量了多发性硬化症 (MS) 的认知功能. 这种数字工具对远程监测MS患者的认知衰退有很大的希望.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 认知科学 认知科学
- 数字健康数字健康
背景情况:
- 准确的认知评估对于管理多发性硬化症至关重要.
- 现有的措施可能无法完全捕捉受MS影响的认知领域,例如快速命名,视觉空间记忆和精细运动技巧.
- 语言和记忆测试 (LMT) 是为了满足这些需求而开发的,专门研究词汇访问作为MS相关认知衰退的驱动因素.
研究的目的:
- 开发和验证语言和记忆测试 (LMT),一种用于多发性硬化症 (MS) 的新的数字认知评估工具.
- 评估LMT测量易受MS影响的认知领域的能力,包括快速命名,视觉空间记忆和精细运动技巧.
- 测试这个假设,词汇访问是MS认知障碍的主要因素.
主要方法:
- 一项概念验证研究涉及265名患有MS的成年人和115名健康对照 (HC) 在三个国家.
- 参与者完成了LMT,其中一个子集还进行了多发性硬化症简要国际认知评估 (BICAMS) 和主观认知测量.
- 在初步分析中,评估了内部一致性,测试重复测试可靠性,区分性,构造性和融合性有效性,以及耐受性.
主要成果:
- 与HC相比,MS组在所有LMT子测试中表现明显差,即使对运动功能,年龄,性别和教育进行控制 (p < .05).
- LMT表现出广泛可接受的重复测试可靠性和内部一致性,参与者报告的耐受性高.
- 结果支持了词汇访问假设,LMT子测试的表现与MS残疾和疾病持续时间相关.
结论:
- 语言和记忆测试 (LMT) 是一个有前途的数字认知工具,用于MS患者.
- LMT表现出良好的初始区分和构造有效性,使多个认知领域的远程评估成为可能.
- 该工具有助于在受MS影响的不同人群中测量认知功能,支持对认知衰退机制的假设测试.

Language and Cognition
715
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language

Language is a system of communication that allows the expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. The brain processes language in both hemispheres.
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...
