“…retrieve and identify information from past memories) [77,78] and in the ability to retain old memories [81,82]. Furthermore, deficits in attention [79,80], information processing, decision making and problem solving [81,83,84] especially during multitasking activities [85], seem to be frequent. Finally, language and verbal fluency are often impaired in MS [75] and these defects manifest in slow speech capacity and slow information processing speed [74].…”

“…Measures of conceptual reasoning, set shifting, problem-solving, attention, multi-tasking ability and processing speed were found predictive of employment status in MS [1215]. Among other functional measures (i.e.…”

“…disease characteristics, physical disability, fatigue, cognitive function, personality traits, mood disorder, and behavioral dysfunction) tests of executive functioning were particularly sensitive in discriminating employed versus disabled MS patients [13]. All of the above mentioned studies include patients with relapsing-remitting as well as the progressive subtypes of MS [1215]. However, disease course has an impact on both employment status [13, 14] and executive functioning [11].…”

“…Dual-tasking, and its assessment, captures the interaction of different executive functions and therefore comes closer to requirements in everyday life. As such, the assessment of dual-tasking functions is important and has an ecological validity for the assessment of cognitive dysfunctions associated with MS ( 12 ). Over the last decades, especially research in cognitive and experimental psychology has uncovered the cognitive mechanisms involved in dual- and multi-tasking ( 13 ).…”
