“…The results add further evidence to the reports of sensitivity of the Trail Making Test to organic brain dysfunction (Alvarez, 1962;Armitage, 1946;Davids, et at., 1957;Reitan, 1955Reitan, , 1958. Further support is given to findings of greater psychological impairment among patients with acute brain lesions than among patients with more static brain dysfunction (Fitzhugh, et a/., 1961).…”

“…Correlation coefficients between the parts of the Trails Test and Wechsler-Bellevue scores were found to vary among the diagnostic categories based upon acureness of brain lesions. The possibility that age of onset of brain dysfunction also may influence these relationships is suggested by the report by Davids, et al, (1957) of finding a significant correlation between California Test of Mental Maturity IQ scores and Trails B scores for a non-brain-damaged, non-psychiatric group of children but finding no significant correlations between WISC IQ scores and Trails scores for groups of children with brain damage or psychiatric disorders. This finding contrasts with Reitan's (1959) findings of consistently significant relationships berween each part of the Trails Test and Wechsler variables for a non-brain-damaged group and for a heterogeneous brain-damaged group.…”

The Trail Making Test (TMl) is widely used in neuropsychological practice as part of a battery for detecting neuropsychological dysfunction. A comprehensive review published by Horton in 1979, focused on adult performance. A critical evaluation of research investigating the use of this test in children is presented here. No clear set of instructions for test use is available for children and, while some aspects of neuropsychological function are similar for adults and children, other factors set these groups apart. Norms are not readily available for children and the relationship of test performance to age, education level and IQ in adults suggests that these are critical variables, particularly in South Africa.Die 'Trail Making Test' (TMl) word algemeen gebruik in neuropsigologiese praktyk om neuropsigologiese disfunksie vas te stel. In 1979 het Horton 'n grondige oorsig gepubliseer, gebaseer op die prestasie van volwassenes. In hierdie artikel word 'n kritiese evaluering gegee van navorsing op kinders met hierdie toets. 'n Duidelike stel instruksies is nie beskikbaar vir gebruik met kinders nie. Alhoewel sekere aspekte van neuropsigologiese funksionering van volwassenes en kinders ooreenstem, is daar tog ander faktore waarop hul/e verskil. Norms vir kinders is nie geredelik beskikbaar nie, en die verhouding van toetsprestasie met ouderdom, opvoedkundige peil en IK in volwassenes suggereer dat hierdie, veral in Suid-Afrika, kritiese veranderlikes is.

INTRODUCTIONBrain network dynamics have been extensively explored in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI); however, differences in single‐ and multiple‐domain aMCI (SD‐aMCI and MD‐aMCI) remain unclear.METHODSUsing multicenter datasets, coactivation patterns (CAPs) were constructed and compared among normal control (NC), SD‐aMCI, MD‐aMCI, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients based on individual high‐order cognitive network (HOCN) and primary sensory network (PSN) parcellations. Correlations between spatiotemporal characteristics and neuropsychological scores were analyzed.RESULTSCompared to NC, SD‐aMCI showed temporal alterations in HOCN‐dominant CAPs, while MD‐aMCI showed alterations in PSN‐dominant CAPs. In addition, transitions from SD‐aMCI to AD may involve PSN, while MD‐aMCI to AD involves both PSN and HOCN. Results were generally consistent across datasets from Chinese and White populations.DISCUSSIONThe HOCN and PSN are distinctively involved in aMCI subtypes and in the transformation between aMCI subtypes and AD, highlighting the necessity of aMCI subtype classification in AD studies.Highlights Individual functional network parcellations and coactivation pattern (CAP) analysis were performed to characterize spatiotemporal differences between single‐ and multiple‐domain amnestic mild cognitive impairment (SD‐aMCI and MD‐aMCI), and between distinct aMCI subtypes and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The analysis of multicenter datasets converged on four pairs of recurrent CAPs, including primary sensory networks (PSN)‐dominant CAPs, high‐order cognitive networks (HOCN)‐dominant CAPs, and PSN–HOCN‐interacting CAPs. The HOCN and PSN are distinctively involved in aMCI subtypes and in the transformation between distinct aMCI subtypes and AD.
