“…Many studies have aimed to ascertain automaticity of frequency and spatial encoding (Hasher & Zachs, 1979, 1984Hasher, Zachs, Rose, & Sanft, 1987), but there is no general agreement in the literature. The judgment of automaticity has been questioned both for frequency of occurrence (Goldstein & Levin, 1988;Maki & Ostby, 1987;Naveh-Benjamin & Jonides, 1985, 1986 and for spatial location (Naveh-Benjamin, 1987). However, for an operational point of view, at least these processes can be considered as more "automatic" than others and used in a paradigm of automatic processes.…”

The aim of this paper was to verify efficiency of automatic memory coding processes during early stages of dementia. Twenty demented patients were classified as "mild," according to selective clinical and neuropsychological criteria, and their performance was compared with that of 30 age-and education-matched normal subjects on two tasks for automatic coding processes (Spatial Location and Frequency of Occurrence Test), a measure of controlled memory processes (Story Test), and one of logical abstractive abilities (Raven's Progressive Matrices). Statistical analysis showed significant differences between patients and controls on automatic tests, as well as at controlled and intelligence tests. The findings did not support a conceptual framework of selective sparing of automatic processes during early stages of dementia.

Current research specifies the varied cognitive and psychoeducational deficits in the adult with head injury, and the clinical assessment of this population is widespread, though often only traditional intellectual measures are used. This article provides descriptive data in the first reported study using the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Ability (WJTCA) (Woodcock & Johnson, 1977) in an outpatient sample of 39 adults with closed head injury. The study also addressed (a) the relationships between the various cognitive clusters of the WJTCA and a measure of injury severity (coma duration) and (b) the relationships between the WJTCA and several Halstead-Reitan neuropsychological measures. Correlational analyses indicated significant relationships between coma duration and performance on the Perceptual Speed and Memory clusters of the WJTCA. No relationships were found between the Halstead Category test and any of the WJTCA cognitive clusters, though the Trail Making test correlated significantly with many of the WJTCA clusters. Time since injury did not correlate with any of the WJTCA test results. Other findings are presented, and the advantages and disadvantages of this set of cognitive tests in relation to other psychoeducational and cognitive measures are reviewed.
