“…Z-scores for the neuropsychological domains and measures were computed based on standardized norms adjusted for age [Stroop (Golden, 1978), Short Categories (Wetzel & Boll, 1987), PASAT (Stuss et al, 1988), Block Design (Wechsler, 1997), and Rey (Denman, 1987)], years of education [AMNART (Grober & Sliwinski, 1991)], age and years of education [Symbol Digit Modalities (Smith, 1982), MicroCog (Powell et al, 1993)], and age, gender, and years of education [(Trails A and B (Heaton et al, 1991), COWAT (Ruff et al, 1996)]. The Stroop, Symbol Digit Modalities, and the MicroCog test norms are not specific to gender, since gender did not significantly affect scores in the normative samples (Golden, 1978;Powell et al, 1993;Smith, 1982).…”

This study tested the hypotheses that older adults make less advantageous decisions than younger adults on the Iowa gambling task (IGT). Less advantageous decisions, as measured by the IGT, are characterized by choices that favor larger versus smaller immediate rewards, even though such choices may result in long-term negative consequences. The IGT, and measures of neuropsychological function, personality, and psychopathology were administered to 164 healthy adults 18-85 years of age. Older adults performed less advantageously on the IGT compared with younger adults. Additionally, a greater number of older adult's IGT performances were classified as 'impaired' when compared to younger adults. Less advantageous decisions were associated with obsessive symptoms in older adults and with antisocial symptoms in younger adults. Performance on the IGT was positively associated with auditory working memory and psychomotor function in young adults, and in immediate memory in older adults.

“…Raw scores from the neuropsychological tests were transformed into T-scores using published normative data for specific tests (45)(46)(47). This procedure allows comparison with samples of normal subjects that have similar demographic features (45)(46)(47). Previous studies have suggested that a T-score below 40 demonstrates sensitivity and specificity for the definition of impairment across brain-damaged and normal subjects, for a majority of the tests (45).…”

Objective. To examine cognitive and psychological functioning in relation to antiribosomal P protein autoantibodies in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who had no previous history of central nervous system disease (non-CNS SLE).Methods. Comprehensive neuropsychological and psychological tests were administered to 51 non-CNS SLE patients, 29 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, and 27 healthy controls.Results. Twenty-nine percent of the non-CNS SLE patients, 31% of the RA patients, and 11% of the control subjects were classified as cognitively impaired. Similar reductions in intelligence, attention, and fluency were detected in the non-CNS SLE and RA patients compared with controls. The non-CNS SLE patients showed a distinct deficit in learning compared with the RA and control groups. Forty-two percent of the non-CNS SLE patients demonstrated psychological distress, compared with 7% of the RA patients and 6% of the controls. In the patient groups, neither cognitive dysfunction nor psychological distress was associated with disease activity or prednisone dosage. Elevated serum levels of autoantibodies to ribosomal P protein were not associated with either psychological or cognitive abnormalities.Conclusion. These results suggest that certain cognitive deficits in non-CNS SLE patients may not be Address reprint requests to Elizabeth Kozora, PhD, National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine, 1400 Jackson Street, Denver, CO 80206.Submitted for publication January 26, 1996; accepted in revised form June 28, 1996. specific to the immunopathology of SLE. In contrast, it is possible that deficits in learning, as well as psychological distress without major psychiatric pathology, may be subtle manifestations of CNS lupus.

Background-There are few investigations of the potential recovery of neurocognitive function in chronic alcoholic samples after very long-term abstinence. The current study examined cognitive abilities in middle-aged, (mean age 46.8 years) long-term abstinent alcoholics (LTAA). Twenty-five LTAA men and 23 LTAA women abstinent for an average of 6.7 years were compared to an equal number of gender and age comparable normal controls (NC). We examined the association of neurocognitive variables with age, duration of abstinence, alcohol use measures, and the density of family history of problem drinking.
