Predictive value of an unsupervised web-based assessment of the neuropsychological function.

Neuropsychological assessment has to consider the subjective and objective functional deficits of help-seeking individuals in several cognitive domains. Due to time constraints in clinical practice, several web-based approaches have been developed. The current study examined whether functional deficits in the mnestic and attentive domain can be predicted based on an unsupervised self-administered online assessment neuropsychological online screening (NOS): This screening includes self-reports and psychometric memory tests (face-name association, visual short-term memory).

Age-Specific Effects of Visual Feature Binding.

Temporary binding of visual features enables objects to be stored and maintained in the visual working memory as a singular structure, irrespective of its inherent complexity. Although working memory capacity is reduced in aging, previous behavioral studies suggest that binding is preserved. Using event-related brain potentials (ERPs), we tested whether stimulus encoding is different in younger (N = 26, mean age = 28.
