“…McNair and Kahn (1984) found a slight but significant correlation between the CDS score and memory test performance (Sternberg Memory Scan, Digit Symbol Substitution Test) but not with the Posner letter identification task. A higher cognitive complaints score was associated with 'faster and more accurate performance', suggesting that non-cognitive factors influenced the self-reports.…”

“…The Cognitive Difficulties Scale (McNair and Kahn, 1984) is a short questionnaire which, its authors claim, reliably detects the effect of drugs for memory. We have assessed the validity of this scale (adapted in French) in a large sample comprising individuals aged between 45 and 75 years with no serious medical or psychiatric disorders.…”

SUMMARYThe Cognitive Difficulties Scale (CDS, McNair and Kahn, 1984) was used to assess memory complaints in 1648 subjects devoid of severe medical or psychiatric disorder. The subjects, aged 4S75 years, were recruited when visiting their general practitioner. The CDS was well accepted and showed a good and stable factorial structure. A weak correlation was found between CDS score and the results of a short neuropsychological battery. A high CDS score was associated with advancing age, low educational level, and psychological motives for visiting. A reduced 26-item version is proposed to shorten the time required to fill in the scale.KEY worn-Memory complaints, memory assessment, Cognitive Difficuities Scale, Age-associated memory impairment.Many people over 50 years of age complain of decreased performance in everyday memory (Kral, 1958). The actual frequency of Such complaints, however, has rarely been evaluated in large-scale Address for correspondence: Professor C.

The assessment of memory complaints is crucial for including people in the recently described age-associated memory impairment construct (Crook a'a, 1986) and to assess the efficacy of drugs for Age-associated de YHBpital,

“…Subjective cognitive complaints were measured using the Cognitive Difficulties Scale (McNair & Kahn, 1984). This measure includes 26 items assessing a broad range of subjective complaints regarding basic neurocognitive functions and their effects on daily functioning (e.g., “I forget appointments, dates, or meetings”, “I fail to recognize people I know”).…”

Although neurocognitive deficits are an integral characteristic of schizophrenia, there is inconclusive evidence as to whether they manifest across the schizophrenia-spectrum. We conducted two studies and a meta-analysis comparing neurocognitive functioning between psychometrically defined schizotypy and control groups recruited from a college population. Study One compared groups on measures of specific and global neurocognition, and subjective and objective quality of life. Study Two examined working memory and subjective cognitive complaints. Across both studies, the schizotypy group showed notably decreased subjective (d51.52) and objective (d51.02) quality of life and greater subjective cognitive complaints (d51.88); however, neurocognition was normal across all measures (d’s,.35). Our meta-analysis of 33 studies examining neurocognition in at-risk college students revealed between-group differences in the negligible effect size range for most domains. The schizotypy group demonstrated deficits of a small effect size for working memory and set-shifting abilities. Although at-risk individuals report relatively profound neurocognitive deficits and impoverished quality of life, neurocognitive functioning assessed behaviorally is largely intact. Our data suggest that traditionally defined neurocognitive deficits do not approximate the magnitude of subjective complaints associated with psychometrically defined schizotypy.

“…We evaluated global cognitive performance with the MMSE, presented above. In addition, the subjective Cognitive Difficulties Scale (CDS, McNair & Kahn, 1983) was used to assess memory complaints in daily life. This scale is a 39-item self-report measure of memory and general cognitive complaints using a Likert-type scale.…”
