The Trail Making Test is a widely used test of executive function and has been thought to be strongly associated with general cognitive function. We examined the genetic architecture of the trail making test and its shared genetic aetiology with other tests of cognitive function in 23 821 participants from UK Biobank.…

'Kewei Chen'] Objective The Trail making test (TMT) is culture-loaded because of reliance on the Latin alphabet, limiting its application in Eastern populations. The Shape Trail Test (STT) has been developed as a new variant. This study is to examine the applicability of the STT in a senile Chinese population and to…

Objective The Trail Making Test (TMT) has its limitations when applied to Eastern cultures due to its reliance on the alphabet. We looked for an alternative tool that is reliable and distinguishable like the TMT and devised the Trail Making Test Black & White (TMT-B&W) as a new variant. This study identifies the…

'Kapila Garg' 'Smita N. Deshpande'] The trail making test (TMT) is a short and convenient estimate of cognitive functions, principally attention and working memory. Like most neuropsychological tests, it is derived from and primarily applicable to English-speaking individuals. Norms for other ethnic minorities may…

'Bradley J. MacIntosh' 'Tom A. Schweizer' 'Simon J. Graham'] The Trail Making Test (TMT) is widely used to probe brain function and is performed with pen and paper, involving Parts A (linking numbers) and B (alternating between linking numbers and letters). The relationship between TMT performance and the underlying…

'Patti Kelly Harrison' 'David W. Harrison'] The most frequently used measures of executive functioning are either sensitive to left frontal lobe functioning or bilateral frontal functioning. Relatively little is known about right frontal lobe contributions to executive functioning given the paucity of measures…

The Trail Making Test (TMT) Part B (TMT-B), a well-established assessment of cognitive function, is a frequent component of diagnostic assessments for Mild Cognitive Impairment and dementia in older adults. Identifying the genetic variants associated with the TMT-B will not only gain insights of genetic determinants of…

Cognitive impairment is the most common sequelae following an acquired brain injury (ABI) and can have profound impact on the life and rehabilitation potential for the individual. The literature demonstrates that music training results in a musician’s increased cognitive control, attention, and executive functioning…

Title: Key summary points Aim To evaluate the reliability and the correlation of the Stepping Trail Making Test (S-TMT) and Trail Walking Test (TWT) in a European older adult population. Findings Both S-TMT and TWT demonstrated good-to-excellent test-retest reliability. Further, a moderate correlation was found between…

2.4.1#### Continuous Performance Test The Continuous Performance Test assesses attention and inhibition processes (; ) and was initially designed for the detection of brain damage (). Children and adolescents were seated in front of a screen, where they were shown a series of 210 images [fish, plane, rabbit, ball…

Neuropsychological tests of executive function have limited real-world predictive and functional relevance. An emerging solution for this limitation is to adapt the tests for implementation in virtual reality (VR). We thus developed two VR-based versions of the classic Color-Trails Test (CTT), a well-validated…

The mechanisms underlying associations between cognitive set shifting impairments and balance dysfunction are unclear. Cognitive set shifting refers to the ability to flexibly adjust behavior to changes in task rules or contexts, which could be involved in flexibly adjusting balance recovery behavior to different…

'Anne Horowitz' 'Nadica Miljković' 'Dušan M. Stipanović'] Abstract— Patients with neurological conditions require rehabilitation to restore their motor, visual, and cognitive abilities. To meet the shortage of therapists and reduce their workload, a robotic rehabilitation platform involving the clinical trail making…

Previous laboratory studies have measured the energetic costs to humans of running at uphill and downhill slopes on a treadmill. This work investigates the extension of those results to the prediction of relative performance of athletes running on flat, hilly, or very mountainous outdoor courses. Publicly available…

Trail running is an endurance sport in which athletes face severe physical challenges. Due to the growing number of participants, the organization of limited staff, equipment, and medical support in these races now plays a key role. Monitoring runner's performance is a difficult task that requires knowledge of the…
