ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to identify the demographic variables that are affecting performances on the Logical Memory (LM) subtest included in the Korean version of the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS)-IV and to provide normative data on the LM subtest for the middle-age and elderly Korean people.METHODS: The participants were 435 non-demented adults aging from 50 to 90 and with the educational level ranging from 0 to 21 years.RESULTS: Age and education were found to be significantly associated with performance on the LM subtest, while gender effect was not statistically significant. Therefore, we stratified the norm blocks by age and education. Age was divided into three groups: 50–59, 60–74, and 75–90 years. Education was stratified into three groups: 0–8 years, 9–12 years, and 13 years or more.CONCLUSION: The normative data provided in the current study are expected to be useful in clinical and research settings to detect or define subtle changes in episodic memory in Korean adults and elderly, and can also be used for cross-cultural comparison of verbal episodic memory performance among elderly populations using different languages.

ABSTRACT

Desde el punto de vista sintomatológico, se han descrito numerosos hallazgos neurológicos asociados a lesiones, isquemias que corresponden a un deterioro cognitivo no favorable a la edad de los pacientes estudiados en diferentes investigaciones. Se ha tornado una premisa mundial el enfoque actual neuropsiquiátrico y el uso diagnóstico y terapéutico de herramientas neuropsiquiátricas disponibles en la actualidad, teniéndose consideración de innovadores conceptos como la validez ecológica de tareas, test, y subtest neuropsicológicos. Es por ello que se pretende compartir una revisión bibliográfica desde esta óptica, para identificar las probables lesiones que sean causa de este polémico y reciente objeto de estudio: el síndrome disejecutivo, o recientemente denominado “disejecutividad”.


From the standpoint of symptomatic have been reported numerous findings related to neurological injury, ischemia that corre-spond to unfavorable cognitive impairment at the age of the patients studied in various investigations, has become a global as-sumption the current approach and use neuropsychiatric Diagnosis and treatment of neuropsychiatric tools available today, taking account of innovative concepts such as ecological validity of tasks, tests, and neuropsychological subtests. That is why I intend to share reviews from this standpoint, in order to identify lesions that are likely cause of this controversial and recent area of study: The dysexecutive syndrome, or recently called dysexecutive.
