“…The current study addressed these methodological issues in several ways, including parallel analysis and scree examination to determine factor number, the use of a maximum likelihood factor analysis which avoids the inflated variance estimates resulting from PCA, and an oblique rotation which is more appropriate considering the likely inter-correlation of the items (Ecklund-Johnson et al, 2004). Consistent with the current findings, Hall and Harvey (2008) found a two-factor solution using the original scoring system and an orthogonal design with varimax rotation; however, the authors only included the first seven items (excluding the attention flexibility and insight items) and the mean age of the sample was 79.3. Thus the results are not easily comparable to our study using all nine items of the BDS, the BDS-II scoring system, and a sample with a mean age of 34.…”

“…factor structure of the BDS was developed using PCA and orthogonal rotations (Grigsby et al, 1992;Hall & Harvey, 2008). A subsequent study generally supported the initial three-factor solution, but only if inter-correlations were allowed in the model (which would not be consistent with use of orthogonal rotations; Ecklund-Johnson et al, 2004).…”

The Behavioral Dyscontrol Scale-II (BDS-II) was developed as an improved scoring method to the original BDS, which was designed to evaluate the capacity for independent regulation of behavior and attention. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factor structure and construct validity of the BDS-II, which had not been adequately re-examined since the development of the new scoring system. In a sample of 164 Veterans with a mean age of 35 years, exploratory factor analysis was used to evaluate BDS-II latent factor structure. Correlations and regressions were used to explore validity against 22 psychometrically sound neurocognitive measures across seven neurocognitive domains of sensation, motor output, processing speed, attention, visual-spatial reasoning, memory, and executive functions. Factor analysis found a two-factor solution for this sample which explained 41% of the variance in the model. Validity analyses found significant correlations among the BDS-II scores and all other cognitive domains except sensation and language (which was not evaluated). Hierarchical regressions revealed that PASAT performance was strongly associated with all three BDS-II scores; dominant hand Finger Tapping Test was also associated with the Total score and Factor 1, and CPT-II Commissions was also associated with Factor 2. These results suggest the BDS-II is both a general test of cerebral functioning, and a more specific test of working memory, motor output, and impulsivity. The BDS-II may therefore show utility with younger populations for measuring frontal lobe abilities and might be very sensitive to neurological injury.

“…AD patients showed the strongest impairment of fine, complex and gross hand motor function compared with healthy controls [28,29] and MCI patients [27] . To the best of our knowledge, only one study compared the hand motor function in VaD patients with the hand motor function of MCI patients, AD patients, and elderly persons without dementia [32] . The results show that simple hand motor function, i.e.…”

A causal relationship between physical activity such as walking and cognitive functions – particularly executive functions and memory – has been observed in elderly people with and without dementia. Executive functions play an important role in the (instrumental) activities of daily life [(I)ADL]. However, a close relationship has also been found between motor activity of the upper limb, particularly the hand, and (I)ADL. Indeed, in aging, a decline in hand motor function is related to a decrease in (I)ADL, an increase in functional dependency, admission to a nursing home, and even mortality. This review begins by addressing clinical studies on the effect of age on higher-level hand motor activity. It then discusses higher-level hand motor function in age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. It concludes by discussing the contribution of higher-level hand motor function assessment to the diagnosis of the various subtypes of (preclinical) dementia and by addressing the clinical relevance of studying higher-level hand motor function, procedural learning, and (I)ADL in aging and (preclinical) dementia.

Behavioral regulation: factor analysis and application of the Behavioral Dyscontrol Scale in dementia and mild cognitive impairment

Abstract: It was concluded that voluntary control of behavior that requires problem-solving for complex tasks may help differentiate dementia from mild cognitive impairment and normal aging.
