2.2. Neuropsychological evaluation
Neuropsychological tests were performed to assess cognitive functioning.
To evaluate attention, the spatial span direct recall with the Cambridge
Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB (Cambridge Cognition,
2017) and the digit span direct recall (WAIS-III (Wechsler, 1997) tests
were used. These analyses were performed with the measures of span
length. Spatial span inverse recall (CANTAB) and the digit span inverse
recall (WAIS-III) tests were used to assess working memory. The emotion
recognition task (ERT, CANTAB) was used to determine social and
emotional cognition, the semantic verbal fluency test (SVFT (Benton,
1983) was used for executive functions, and the vocabulary test
(WAIS-III) was used to estimate premorbid intelligence.
