“…Results of forward regression showed that the strongest predictor of depression was recall on Rey-Osterrieth test, measuring primarily visuospatial memory with some elements of planning and organizing, followed by performance on Stroop test, one of the measures of executive functioning, especially inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility. Namely, in addition to the measurement of visual-constructional ability and memory, the ROCF has been suggested as a measure of executive function, specifically requiring planning and organizing skills (Elderkin-Thompson et al, 2004;Weber, Riccio, & Cohen, 2013). Several of our findings are in line with previous reports demonstrating that there is a strong negative correlation between depression in older adults and executive functioning (e.g., higher depression is indicative of impaired executive functioning).…”

Cognitive deficits are a potential part of the clinical picture of depression, especially when it comes to late-life depression. The present study was carried out to establish whether distinctive cognitive deficiencies can be linked with depression in the late-life period, especially in executive functioning, working memory, and visuospatial memory. Our sample consisted of 71 seniors in the age range between 69 and 85 years. A battery of neurocognitive tests was used, including tests of executive functioning (Trail Making Test [TMT], part B, Stroop color word test, semantic word fluency test, and partially Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure test [ROCF]), tests of attention and working memory (TMT, part A and digit span), and test of visuospatil ability and memory (ROCF). Results demonstrated that depression scores were significantly negatively correlated with scores on Verbal Fluency test, Stroop test, and ROCF immediate copy and recall. Depression was also linked to slower functioning on Trail Making A and Trail Making B subtest. In general, higher depression scores were correlated with lower performance on neuropsychological tests. However, digit span showed no significant correlation with depression. In addition, results of regression analyses revealed that the strongest predictors of depression were performance on the Rey-Osterrieth test-immediate recall and Stroop test. Thus, we could ascertain that difficulties in executive functioning and visuospatial memory are the best predictors of depression in elderly.

Panayiotopoulos syndrome (PS) is a common epilepsy syndrome associated with rare clinical seizures and unknown localization of the epileptogenic area. Despite findings of normal development in patients with PS, recent neuropsychological studies point to subtle and diverse cognitive impairments. No well-outlined hypothesis about the localization of the brain dysfunction responsible for these impairments has been proposed. We further explored the cognitive dysfunctions in PS and made inferences on the most likely anatomical localization of brain impairment. A group of 19 patients (aged 6-12) with PS was rated according to spike activity and lateralization. The patients were submitted to a neuropsychological evaluation to assess general intelligence, memory, language, visual-perceptual abilities, attention, and executive functions. Using 35-channel scalp EEG recordings, the N170 face-evoked event-related potential (ERP) was obtained to assess the functional integrity of the ventral pathway. All patients with PS showed normal IQ but subtle and consistent neurocognitive impairments. Namely, we found abnormalities in the copy task of the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure and in the Narrative Memory Test. There was no correlation between neuropsychological impairments with spike activity and hemispheric spike lateralization. The N170 ERP was normal in all patients except for one. Our neuropsychological findings demonstrate impairments in visual-perceptual abilities and in semantic processing. These findings, paired with the absence of occipital lobe dysfunction in all neuropsychological studies of PS performed to this date, support the existence of parietal lobe dysfunction.

“…For the recall conditions, Shorr, Delis and Massman (1992) believe that the prefrontal cortex guides the ROCF task, as frontal lobe processes strategically encode, retrieve and store visuo-spatial information. Weber et al (2013) add that evidence from reduced ROCF performance in individuals with neuropsychological conditions reflects the number of executive function processes linked to the task.…”

Using HMD Virtual Reality to investigate individual differences in visual processing styles

Global and local processing is part of human perceptual organisation, where global processing enables us to extract the ‘gist’ of the visual information and local processing helps us to perceive the details. Individual differences in these two types of visual processing have been found in autism and ADHD. Virtual Reality (VR) has become a more available method of research in the last few decades. No previous research has investigated perceptual differences using this technology. The standard ROCF test was used as a baseline task to look at a practical aspect of using VR as an experimental platform. 94 participants were tested. Attention-to-Detail, Attention Switching and Imagination subscales of AQ questionnaire were found to be predictors of organisational ROCF scores, whereas only Attention-to?Detail subscale was predictive of perceptual ROCF scores. Current study is an example of how classic psychological paradigms can be transferred into the virtual world. Further investigation of the distinct individual preferences in drawing tasks in VR could lead to a better understanding on how we process visuospatial information. As a result, such findings would inevitably extend to industrial applications.
