Neurocognitive predictors of performance on a telephone task following stroke.

A growing body of evidence indicates that cognitive function is related to functional ability; however, little attention has been paid to which neuropsychological measures are predictive of specific daily tasks. The purpose of the current study was to determine the neurocognitive predictors of a performance-based telephone task in a sample of patients with recent stroke. A sample of 51 individuals with stroke completed a battery of neuropsychological measures and a telephone task.
