“…As in previous studies, men tapped faster than women (Arnold et al, 2005;Ashendorf, Vanderslice-Barr, & McCaffrey, 2009;Bornstein, 1985;Christianson & Leathem, 2004;Coleman et al, 1997;Elias, Robbins, Walter, & Schultz, 1993;Gur et al, 2010;Heaton, Miller, Taylor, & Grant, 2004;Hubel et al, 2013aHubel et al, , 2013bMitrushina, Boone, Razani, & D'Elia, 2005;Peters, 1980;Peters & Campagnaro, 1996;Ruff & Parker;Schmidt et al, 2000;Ylikoski et al, 1998), outperforming women by three to five taps (Ashendorf et al, 2009;Mitrushina et al, 2005). Heaton and colleagues (2004) reported that about 16% to 20% of the test scores were accounted for by gender.…”

“…Heaton and colleagues (2004) verified that education accounts for only about 2% to 4% of the variance in tapping scores. Still, as reported by other studies, best performances are often associated with more years of education, concerning not only higher levels of formal instruction (Ashendorf et al, 2009;Bornstein, 1985;Gur et al, 2010;Ruff & Parker, 1993), but also parental education (Gur et al, 2010).…”

“…Better performance is usually associated with younger age, as many studies have shown older subjects tend to have significantly slower tapping rates (Aoki & Fukuoka, 2010;Ashendorf et al, 2009;Bartzokis et al, 2010;Bornstein, 1985;Elias et al, 1993;Gur et al, 2010;Hubel et al, 2013aHubel et al, , 2013bRuff & Parker, 1993;Shimoyama et al, 1990;Turgeon, Wing, & Taylor, 2011;Ylikoski et al, 1998). To Bartzokis and colleagues (2010), age-related trajectory of finger tapping speed can be associated with brain myelin integrity, reaching its peak in mid-life and declining in older age, eventually leading to psychomotor slowing.…”

Introduction: Current diagnostic criteria for depression include psychomotor retardation, being the Finger Tapping Test (FTT) as one of the most utilized instruments to assess fine psychomotor performance. Results: We found significant differences between depressed patients and healthy controls. Significant effects of age and gender were found.Conclusion: Results allowed us to identify differences in performance between the two groups, therefore this version of the FTT revealed adequate reliability values, one instrument accessible to all clinicians.

“…In addition, the FAS test was inconsistently administered during the second assessment and could not be analyzed at that time because of small sample size. Normative data to assess severity of impairment were available for use on a few measures, including the following: Trailmaking (Bornstein, 1985; age, gender, and education adjustment), Stroop Test (Golden, 1978; age adjustment), Controlled Oral Word Fluency-FAS (Tombaugh et al, 1999; age and education adjustment), Selective Reminding (Larrabee et al, 1988; age and gender adjustment), and Wisconsin Card Sorting (Beatty, 1993;age adjustment).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: The purpose of this work was to assess neuropsychological functioning of individuals in early abstinence from methamphetamine dependence and to test for cognitive change over the first month of abstinence. Method: Methamphetamine-dependent subjects in very early abstinence from methamphetamine (4-9 days; n = 27) were compared with healthy comparison subjects (n = 28) on a test battery that evaluated five cognitive domains (attention/processing speed, learning/memory, working memory, timed executive functioning, and untimed executive functioning). A subsample of the methamphetaminedependent subjects (n =18), who maintained abstinence for 1 month, as well as a subsample of the comparison subjects (n = 21), were retested. Results: At the first assessment, the methamphetamine-dependent subjects showed significantly worse performance than the comparison group on a test of processing speed; they also performed 0.31 SDs worse than the control group on a global battery composite score (p < .05). After a month of abstinence, methamphetamine-dependent subjects demonstrated slightly more cognitive improvement than healthy control subjects on the entire cognitive battery, but this difference did not approach statistical significance (p = .33 (Gonzalez et al., 2004(Gonzalez et al., , 2007Hoffman et al., 2006;Kalechstein et al., 2003;Monterosso et al., 2005;Paulus et al., 2003;Salo et al., 2002Salo et al., , 2005Salo et al., , 2007Simon et al., 2000 Simon et al., , 2002Woods et al., 2005). In a meta-analysis of studies comparing individuals with MA abuse or dependence to healthy control subjects (Scott et al., 2007) Despite evidence provided by meta-analytic data, which is collapsed across studies, individual MA-dependent subjects vary in the severity of cognitive deficits they exhibit (Dean and London, 2010), and not all studies of MA-abusing subjects have demonstrated weaknesses. In one study, MA-dependent subjects (n = 44), who were abstinent for a week, did not significantly differ from matched comparison subjects (n = 28) on a battery of motor functioning, verbal memory, attention/processing speed, working memory, reaction time, and executive functioning (Chang et al

“…Age, intelligence quotient (IQ), education, and gender may influence TMT performance (Davies 1968;Boll and Reitan 1973;Bornstein 1985;Wiederholt et al 1993;Gaudino et al 1995). However, the effects of gender on TMT performance are disputed (Heaton et al 1986;Waldmann et al 1992).…”

Recent advances in medical care have facilitated the survival of patients with stroke or traffic-related injuries. However, such patients may suffer from higher brain dysfunction; i.e., an impaired ability to plan and perform behaviors based on prior knowledge. The Trail Making Test (TMT) is a cognitive task that is used to evaluate higher brain dysfunction caused by frontal lobe injury. TMT consists of two tasks; TMT-A involves connecting consecutive numbers, and TMT-B involves connecting numbers and letters alternately. In this study, using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and the achievement value (TMT score), we investigated the effects of three factors on TMT performance: knowledge of the TMT, the order of TMT-A and TMT-B performance, and gender. The subjects were 48 healthy adults, consisting of college graduates and undergraduates (age: 22.8 ± 2.5 years, education: 16.0 ± 1.2 years, 24 males and 24 females). We measured the changes in oxygenated hemoglobin (oxy-Hb) levels using NIRS, showing that the increase in oxy-Hb was higher in subjects who had no knowledge of the TMT than those who had prior knowledge. In both TMT-A and TMT-B, the subjects who performed their first task displayed higher oxy-Hb levels. Moreover, the oxy-Hb level in males was higher than that in females. In contrast, only the order of TMT performance showed noticeable effect on the TMT score. In the present study, using NIRS we have shown that either knowledge of the TMT, the order of the TMT, or gender affects TMT performance, providing invaluable information for interpreting TMT results.
