Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to investigate cognitive functioning profiles in adults with neurologically recognized aphasic syndromes and general population.
The study group consist of minimal 600 adults (over 18 y.o.) who will be examined by qualified diagnosticians. Participants will be evaluated with tasks related to the studied variables: memory, learning and language. Furthermore informations regarding past and present health condition will be collected from participants.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- What is the profile of memory and learning among polish adults?
- Do gender and age moderates patterns of memory and learning functioning among polish adults?
- What is a specific pattern of language functioning in adults with neurologically recognized aphasic syndromes?
- Do gender moderates specific patterns of language functioning in adults with neurologically recognized aphasic syndromes?
Researchers will compare the following groups of adults:
- general population/control group
- with neurologically recognized aphasic syndromes
- seniors (over 60 y.o.)

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Memory and learning
Time Frame: July 3, 2023 until June 30, 2026
Test of Memory and Learning (second edition). A standardized test measuring memory functioning and learning abilities. The test includes four basic factors (Verbal Memory, Nonverbal Memory, Complex Memory, and Delayed Recall) and five supplementary factors (Attention/Concentration, Sequential Memory, Free Recall, Associative Recall and Learning). The raw scores obtained in each tested subscale are converted into scores scaled based on age norms, ranging from 1 to 20, where a higher score means better functioning of the examined area, and a lower result means poorer functioning.
Language
Time Frame: July 3, 2023 until June 30, 2026
Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination-Third Edition. A spectrum of tools that helps to identify and distinguish among disorders of language function and neurologically recognized aphasic syndromes. The test have five functional subsections: 1) Conversational and Expository Speech, 2) Auditory Comprehension, 3) Oral Expression, 4) Reading and 5) Writing. The raw scores obtained in each tested subscale are converted into a percentile scale, ranging from 1 to 100, where a higher score means better functioning of the examined area, and a lower result means poorer functioning.
Socio-demographic data
Time Frame: July 3, 2023 until June 30, 2026
Author's survey of socio-demographic data, including: gender, month and year of birth, region of residence
