A decline in social functioning,
lower verbal learning and slower processing speed were also significant factors.
People with mild cognitive impairment were defined as those who have a slight decline in cognition, mainly in memory in terms of remembering sequences or organization, and who score lower on tests such as the California
Verbal Learning Test, which requires participants to recall a list of related words, such as a shopping list.
The research contradicts the findings of earlier studies, including one by researchers at Florida Tech in 2003, which suggested that heading in soccer may result in the short term in weaker mental performance, including a decline in cognitive function, difficulty
in verbal learning, planning and maintaining attention and reduced information processing speed.
In the
California Verbal Learning Test, on a scale of 0 to 80, with 80 reflecting the best memory, the healthy participants had an average score of 55.8, whereas those with mild cognitive impairment scored an average of 40.5.
These factors include: age of onset of symptoms; levels of unusual thought content and suspiciousness; social functioning;

For example, Buckwalter et al. (1999) report that pregnant women demonstrated more difficulties
with verbal learning, and that their learning styles were less effective and more haphazard.
They found that lower memory and
verbal learning scores and a decline in social functioning were strong predictors of a psychotic break, along with severity of precursor symptoms, such as unusual thoughts.
The tests evaluated multiple modes of cognition,
including verbal learning and memory and visuospatial working memory / processing speed.

Cognitive testing before and after treatment included assessment of verbal memory, specifically recall of spoken words (using the
California Verbal Learning Test, Second Edition).
In a series of tests to assess neurocognitive performance, seven of 10 participants experienced problems
with verbal learning and memory, and four of 10 experienced problems with speed of information processing and executive functioning, an umbrella term for cognitive processes such as reasoning, task flexibility, problem solving and planning and execution.
Often, non-avian models are unsuitable to study a particular phenomenon, such as the study
of verbal learning, for example.
At the 30 and 90 - minute marks, they asked the young and healthy participants to take
a verbal learning test to analyze their performance.
The study - believed to be the largest of its kind - assessed neurocognitive functioning indicators such as mental processing speed,

In one study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, people who consumed choline before memory and
verbal learning tests performed better.
According to the study, individuals supplementing with 300 mg of bacopa per day showed improved memory acquisition and
verbal learning.
Here's what you'd have to do: group students into the learning style categories that are being evaluated (e.g., visual learners vs. verbal learners), and then students in each group must be randomly assigned to one of the learning methods (e.g., visual learning or
verbal learning), so that some students will be «matched» and others will be «mismatched.»
Hands - on learning is superior to
verbal learning.
The progressivist believes that it is better to study math and science through real - world, hands - on, natural methods than through the deadening modes of conceptual and
verbal learning, or the repetitive practicing of math algorithms, even if those «old fashioned» methods are successful.
Expected cognitive deficits were found in the depressed compared to the control group at baseline although only a few domains (
verbal learning, memory and executive functioning) were related to depressive severity.
Various studies have shown that women's cognitive functioning, specifically
their verbal learning and memory, undergoes changes during pregnancy.
