“…The results provide information about a child's intelligence with minimal linguistic influence and are compared to age-specific normative data to produce normalised IQ scores. The TONI has demonstrated high test-retest reliability with high correlation coefficients (0.89) and limited random measurement error 56,57 .…”

The effect of classroom environment on literacy development

The physical characteristics of a child’s learning environment can affect health, wellbeing and educational progress. Here we investigate the effect of classroom setting on academic progress in 7–10-year-old students comparing reading development in “open-plan” (multiple class groups located within one physical space) and “enclosed-plan” (one class group per space) environments. All learning conditions (class group, teaching personnel, etc.) were held constant throughout, while physical environment was alternated term-by-term using a portable, sound-treated dividing wall. One hundred and ninety-six students underwent academic, cognitive and auditory assessment at baseline and 146 of these were available for repeat assessment at the completion of 3 school terms, allowing within-child changes across an academic year to be calculated. Reading fluency development (change in words read-per-minute) was greater for the enclosed-classroom phases (P < 0.001; 95%CI 3.7, 10.0) and the children who showed the greatest condition difference (i.e. slower rate of development in the open-plan) were those with the worst speech perception in noise and/or poorest attention skills. These findings highlight the important role classroom setting plays in the academic development of young students.

“…In the current study, the SDM test showed strong betweenperson (α = .90-.92) and within-person reliability (α = .90). Furthermore, it has shown strong 2-week retest reliability (r = .74), convergent and discriminant validity, with scores of measures of different constructs [71][72][73].…”

Background. Within-person growth in life satisfaction (LS) can protect against declines in cognitive functioning, and, conversely, over time. However, most studies have been crosssectional, thereby precluding causal inferences. Thus, we used bivariate dual latent change score modeling to test within-person change-to-future change relations between LS and cognition. Method. Community adults completed in-person tests of verbal working memory (WM), processing speed, spatial cognition, and an LS self-report. Five waves of assessment occurred across 23 years. Results. Reduction in LS predicted future decreases in spatial cognition, processing speed, and verbal WM (|d| = 0.150-0.354). Additionally, depletion in processing speed and verbal WM predicted a future decrease in LS (d = 0.142-0.269). However, change in spatial cognition did not predict change in LS (|d| = 0.085). Discussion. LS and verbal WM and processing speed predicted one another across long durations. Evidence-based therapies can be augmented to target LS and cognition.

“…The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) (35) and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) (36) were used to assess the overall cognitive function and the severity of psychotic symptoms of the participants, respectively. Previous studies have suggested that MoCA is a validated, clinician friendly, brief instrument for screening cognitive deficits in schizophrenia (37,38). Moreover, we also utilized the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (39) to exclude depression, and a GDS score of 10 or more was considered depressed.…”

BackgroundIt is well known that schizophrenia is associated with sex differences. However, no study has explored the sex differences in obesity and cognitive function in elderly Chinese patients with schizophrenia.ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare sex differences in obesity and cognitive function in elderly Chinese individuals with schizophrenia.MethodsA total of 304 elderly patients with schizophrenia and 130 sex- and age-matched healthy controls from the community were recruited. Demographic, clinical, and lipid parameters were collected for all subjects. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used to assess the global cognitive functions of the participants, while the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was used to assess psychopathological symptoms in patients with schizophrenia.ResultsOf the patients with schizophrenia, the prevalence of obesity in men and women was 11.7% (19/163) and 21.3% (30/141), respectively. The score (14.51 ± 6.504) of MOCA in elderly male patients with schizophrenia was significantly higher than that (11.40 ± 6.822) in female patients. There was a positive correlation between the MOCA scores and body mass index (BMI) (r=0.206, p=0.018) in male elderly patients with schizophrenia. Conversely, the MOCA scores of female elderly patients with schizophrenia did not correlate with BMI (p>0.05). However, we found no sex differences in obesity and cognition among control older adults.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that there are significant sex differences in obesity and cognitive function in elderly Chinese patients with schizophrenia.
