Neuropsychological assessments and measured cognitive functions

Cognitive functions Assessments
Global cognition Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) [24]
Memory
  Auditory short-term memory Digit Span –Forward [43]
  Auditory working memory Digit Span –Backward [43]
  Visuo-spatial short-term memory Corsi Block Tapping Task –Forward [44]
  Visuo-spatial working memory Corsi Block Tapping Task –Backward [44]
  Episodic verbal long-term memory CERAD Word List Delayed Recall [45]
  Learning ability CERAD Word List Learning [45]
Processing speed
  Psychomotor speed, Initiation Trail Making Test (TMT) –Part A [25]
  Processing speed Stroop Test –Word Reading [46]
Executive functions
  Mental flexibility, Shifting Trail Making Test (TMT) –Part B &Delta-TMT* [25]
  Inhibitory control Stroop Test –Interference Score [25, 46]
  Dysexecutive syndrome Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) [47]
  Mental flexibility Isaacs Set Test [48]
Language
  Language –Denomination Boston Naming Test –short form [45]
  Fluency, Word initiation Semantic Fluency (animals, 2 min) [25]
Phonemic Fluency (letter “F”, 1 min) [24]
Visuospatial functions
  Visuoconstructive capacities Qualitative Scoring MMSE Pentagon [49]
Cube Copying Task [24]
  Visuospatial judgment Benton Judgment of Line Orientation (JLO) [50]

N.B.: We assigned cognitive tests to specific cognitive domains. Given that no cognitive assessment evaluates purely one cognitive function, overlap cannot be excluded. *Delta-TMT is defined as (TMT-B) –(TMT-A).
