Define Cognitive function. Cognitive function synonyms, Cognitive function pronunciation, Cognitive function translation, English dictionary definition of Cognitive function. n. 1. The mental process of knowing, including aspects such as awareness, perce
and social and emotional processing. The neurocognitive method to conceptualizing cognitive functioning also complements the psychometric approach. For example, lower levels ofGfperformance among healthy older adults have been associated with smaller prefrontal and orbitofrontal white matter (Raz et al., 200...
We conclude that, on the whole, prelingual deafness does not impede cognitive functioning in adult age. The nature of detecting and executing of cognitive tasks, despite gender and task-specific variations, is preserved. Brain networks are able to compensate for the missing auditory input....

Trails A requires attention, visual search, and psychomotor speed and trails B adds sequencing, working memory, and set shifting, which are all sensitive to executive/frontal lobe functioning. We have found this test particularly useful when we suspect frontal lobe dementias. ...
Males and females are subject to differences in cognitive processing strategies, i.e. the way males and females solve cognitive tasks. So far primarily reported for younger adults, this seems to be especially important in older adults, who also show sex
We extensively tested the reliability and validity of our telephone procedure for assessing cognition in high-functioning, educated women. We found high reliability of test performance among 35 women given the TICS twice, 31 days apart (test-retest correlation, 0.7, P<.001). In a validation stud...
The lower occurrence of this state in poor performers results in an overall weaker static BOLD FC, in line with previous findings where lower intelligence/poorer cognitive functioning was related to an overall decrease in BOLD functional connectivity in the elderly28. In terms of FC-SC similarity,...
Twenty-nine high-functioning older adults were randomly assigned to either aerobic activity or stretching and toning activity. The aim of the aerobic exercise group was to improve cardiorespiratory fitness, whereas the stretching and toning group served as a control group. Participants in both groups ...
