Using Disability Rating Scale Recovery Curves to Predict PASAT Performance After Closed Head Injury
… along with Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) scores at six months post injury. The PASAT is a task that involves multiple cognitive domains, including processing speed, sustained and divided attention, and working and immediate memory. . Growth curve analysis was used to fit individual …

HOW PERFORMANCE ON THE PASAT RELATE TO GLOBAL OUTCOME ON THE DISABILITY RATING SCALE FOLLOWING CLOSED-HEAD INJURY.
… that have sustained a head injury. The PASAT measures processing speed, working memory, and attention, which are cognitive abilities often associated with head injury. This study aimed to elucidate the differences between participants able to complete the PASAT and those who could not. …

PTSD and Immunological Correlations Of Attention and Working Memory in Gulf War Illness
… or the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT). We also investigated how PTSD symptoms, followed by fatigue levels, improved the GWI model when predicting performance. Next, we analyzed the unique impact that GWI diagnosis, followed by pro-inflammatory interleukins, would have on reported …

Use of Cognitive Screening and the Influence of Psychosocial Variables in Identification of Cognitive Impairment in MS
… completed a screening battery (JoL, 9HPT, PASAT, SDMT-Oral, and T25FW) at visit one and a larger cognitive assessment within 4 weeks of visit one, which was used to divide subjects into impaired and non-impaired groups. Linear regression was used to assess which tests on the screening …

Understanding urgency in borderline personality disorder: disinhibition or impulsive emotion regulation?
… a psychologically stressful task (modified PASAT-C; Lejuez, Kahler, & Brown, 2003). Two-way independent analyses of variance (ANOVAs) were utilized to examine both main effects and interaction effects of group and condition on the frequency of emotion regulation index behaviors during the …

Psychological and neuropsychological correlates of Postconcussional Disorder
… distress on Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) performance. There were no significant main effects or interactions affecting PASAT performance. Secondarily, a modified distress index was developed using the subscales of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PMDI), based the scoring of the …

Fitness and cognitive processing speed in persons with multiple sclerosis
… measures of cognitive processing speed (PASAT and SDMT). Participants underwent an incremental exercise test to exhaustion on a cycle ergometer as a measure of aerobic capacity; three maximal isometric extensions and one maximal isometric flexion with each knee on an isokinetic …

Alternative Neuropsychological and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Measures in Multiple Sclerosis: Exploring the relation between brain lesion measured by diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging and interhemispheric communication and processing speed in multiple sclerosis
… tested by the Paced Serial Addition Test (PASAT) and the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT), two commonly used neuropsychological tests in MS. A significant correlation between the performance on the SDMT and transverse diffusivity in the whole brain was found in MS patients, indicating …
