SYNCOMOT will assess appropriate cognitive abilities (using the French adaptation [29] of the Harmonization Standards Neuropsychological Battery [48]) and behavioral dysexecutive disorders (using the previously validated Behavioral Dysexecutive Syndrome Inventory (BDSI)) [49] |
- Detecting global cognitive impairments: |
• Mini-Mental State Examination [57] |
- Detection of the main cognitive disorders:
|
• Phasic: center using scale except Battery for the Evaluation of Lexical Disorders [58] |
• Praxis: Florence Mayeux’s symbolic praxis test [59] |
• Memory: short-term memory with an immediate verbal serial number recall (Baddeley task) and long-term verbal and visual memory |
• Spatial neglect: Albert’s test |
- Description of executive functions: |
• Flexibility of attention: Trail-Making Test parts A and B [48] |
• Dual task performance: Baddeley task [60] |
• Inhibition: Stroop tasks [48] |
• Verbal fluency: literal fluency (“P” at M0, “V” at M1, “R” at M2 and “B” at M6) |
• Processing speed index (PSI): third edition of the Wechsler adult intelligence scale (WAIS-III) |
• Dysexecutive behavior syndrome (BDSI) [49] |
- Detection of mood disorders: |
• Depression assessment on the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) [90] |
• Anxiety assessment on the Goldberg scale [91] |
