The technique of hippocampus sparing during WBRT (HS-WBRT) may substantially preserve NCFs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine whether trajectories of neuropsychological performances maintained or improved after HS-WBRT. A total of 125 cancer patients underwent the HS-WBRT course. Before HS-WBRT, all participants underwent multidomain neurocognitive assessment, mainly involving executive functions and hippocampus-related memory. After radiotherapy, the above assessment was administered at regular time points to monitor longitudinal neuropsychological performances. The delta values of post-radiotherapy and baseline NCF scores showed a sustained trend, signifying cognitive maintenance rather than deterioration. This trend was observed for hippocampus-related verbal memory and frontal-lobe-related executive functions, represented by the score of Word List-immediate memory and Modified Card Sorting Test - Complete Categories, respectively. The potential predictors of longitudinal multidomain neuropsychological performances included age at enrollment, baseline NCF scores, and the assessment time (months) elapsed since enrollment, signifying the trajectory of patients' neuropsychological performances after HS-WBRT. Among longitudinal neuropsychological outcomes, there was a considerable time trend toward maintenance in verbal learning immediate memory [odds ratio, 1.112, 95% confidence interval, 1.08 - 1.15], which persisted even after adjusting for the most independent predictor (baseline NCF scores). Functional preservation of longitudinal multidomain neuropsychological performances was evident after HS-WBRT.

Multiple regression analyses were used to model the effects of the lower-level reading or naming conditions on higher-level inhibition or inhibition/switching conditions. Conventional contrasts and regression-based derived measures were assessed for residual effects of demographics and lower-level CWIT conditions. Stability over time was examined in a sub-sample with available follow-up data. Conventional contrasts showed residual effects of demographics and basic functions. Analyses of stability over time showed ICCs in the poor to moderate range (range = 0.39-0.56) for conventional contrasts and somewhat higher estimates for the regression measures (range = 0.50-0.65).

Studies have compared the learning benefits of errorless and trial-and-error (T&E) methods, focusing primarily on memory functions. Executive function related to error management has also been implicated in the underlying cognitive processes needed for the T&E method, although few studies addressed this issue. Herein, to further investigate learning adaptation involving executive function, we developed an experimental execution task focusing on the error correction process (i.e., the chip task), which required self-error corrections based on error feedback to achieve correct answers. We analyzed the relationships among cognitive performance, age, and T&E learning outcomes in this execution task in older individuals. Fifty older participants performed seven execution task sessions, during which they changed the arrangement of four chips based on error feedback until they were correctly arranged. The learning outcome was defined as the average number of chip replacements required to achieve correct answers in the last two sessions. The T&E learning outcomes were significantly related to cognitive performance but not to age. Our findings demonstrate that T&E learning adaptation in the execution task was influenced by cognitive performance rather than age in older individuals. This suggests that older individuals can learn how to manage errors through the self-error correction process, depending on their residual cognitive functions. The extent to which T&E-based learning methods are incorporated should be tailored to the individual's cognitive ability to utilize residual cognitive functions.</p>","PeriodicalId":51308,"journal":{"name":"Applied Neuropsychology-Adult","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143426657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While functional magnetic resonance imaging is the most commonly applied resource, functional near-infrared spectroscopy has become an easily accessible alternative, which may prove more useful for future studies.
