“…Indeed, working memory is often subsumed under executive function (Cabellero et al, 2021), and the same tests may be said to tap either attention or working memory, “terms sometimes used interchangeably” depending on “theoretical bias” (Lezak et al, 2012, p. 402). Yet in deference to the usual distinction in the literature on OSA, I separated executive function here from attention, which I combined with working memory because of their especially close connections; in doing so, I followed several recent studies and test batteries that defined executive function apart from “attention/working memory” (Cherner et al, 2020; Heaton et al, 2004; Mahmood et al, 2020; Schretlen et al, 2010; Whiteside et al, 2021). Upon provisional acceptance of this bifurcation, some of the usual tests will be seen to line each arm.…”

There is a rough consensus, after decades of research, that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with mild cognitive impairments, especially in areas of executive functioning (EF), attention/working memory (A/WM), episodic memory (EM), and speed of speed of information processing (SIP). However, there is less consensus as to whether apnea severity matters for these impairments, which sleep variables matter most to which cognitive domains, whether common OSA comorbidities contribute to these determinations, or whether the apparent associations are really artifacts of these comorbidities. In this study, 40 participants with OSA submitted to polysomnography and to neuropsychological assessment with an expanded Halstead-Reitan Test Battery. Aggregates of tests to cover the four cognitive domains mentioned above were linearly regressed on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), the nadir of oxygen saturation (NOS), and hypertension and diabetes mellitus (scored present or absent). The AHI predicted both EF ( p = .015; sr2 = .13) and A/WM ( p = .023; sr2 = 11) in the primary analyses, and EM ( p = .027; sr2 = .10) in the secondary analyses. Thus, AHI may affect EF, A/WM and perhaps EM beyond NOS and beyond two of OSA’s most common comorbidities. Implications of these findings are discussed here.

“…Knowledge of the effects of person diversity on neuropsychological practice and research must be mastered and professional strategies must be taught in order to implement ethical principles in an adequate, culturally informed manner (Cagigas & Manly, 2014;Rivera Mindt et al, 2010). Due to the vigorous advocacy of neuropsychological clinicians and researchers over the past several decades, issues of diversity related to studies of brain-behavior relationships have become core to the field of clinical neuropsychology as reflected, for instance, in the establishment of an editorial department by The Clinical Neuropsychologist that focuses on culture and gender (Rivera Mindt & Hilsabeck, 2018) and the funding by the National Institutes of Health of normative studies of ethnoculturally and linguistically diverse people (e.g., Cherner et al, 2021;Norman et al, 2011).…”

“…Individual test raw scores were converted into demographically adjusted (i.e., age, sex, education, race/ethnicity) T-scores (M = 50, SD = 10 in healthy subjects) (Antinori et al, 2007;Cherner et al, 2021;Heaton et al, 2004;Heaton et al, 2003). Individual neuropsychological tests were considered impaired when T-scores < 40 (Taylor & Heaton, 2001).…”

Objective: To determine the reliability of teleneuropsychological (TNP) compared to in-person assessments (IPA) in people with HIV (PWH) and without HIV (HIV−). Methods: Participants included 80 PWH (Mage = 58.7, SDage = 11.0) and 23 HIV− (Mage = 61.9, SDage = 16.7). Participants completed two comprehensive neuropsychological IPA before one TNP during the COVID-19 pandemic (March–December 2020). The neuropsychological tests included: Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R Total and Delayed Recall), Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT; FAS-English or PMR-Spanish), Animal Fluency, Action (Verb) Fluency, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale 3rd Edition (WAIS-III) Symbol Search and Letter Number Sequencing, Stroop Color and Word Test, Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (Channel 1), and Boston Naming Test. Total raw scores and sub-scores were used in analyses. In the total sample and by HIV status, test-retest reliability and performance-level differences were evaluated between the two consecutive IPA (i.e., IPA1 and IPA2), and mean in-person scores (IPA-M), and TNP. Results: There were statistically significant test-retest correlations between IPA1 and IPA2 (r or ρ = .603–.883, ps < .001), and between IPA-M and TNP (r or ρ = .622–.958, ps < .001). In the total sample, significantly lower test-retest scores were found between IPA-M and TNP on the COWAT (PMR), Stroop Color and Word Test, WAIS-III Letter Number Sequencing, and HVLT-R Total Recall (ps < .05). Results were similar in PWH only. Conclusions: This study demonstrates reliability of TNP in PWH and HIV−. TNP assessments are a promising way to improve access to traditional neuropsychological services and maintain ongoing clinical research studies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
