Evaluation of the Orientation Log and Cognitive Log as predictive measurements of outpatient neuropsychological functioning

Kimberly Ann Cappa, Purdue University

Abstract

The present study was conducted as a partial replication of the Lee, LoGalbo, Baños, and Novack (2004) study to substantiate their claim that the O-Log and Cog-Log have the ability to predict performance on neuropsychological tests of memory, attention, executive functioning, and visuospatial abilities. Archival data from 63 subjects who received inpatient and outpatient care at a medium sized rehabilitation hospital were examined. Selected neuropsychological tests were used to generate linear composites predicting neuropsychological performance in separate hierarchical linear regression analyses. Results indicated that the lowest Cog-Log scores were most predictive of performance on measures of memory and executive functioning accounting for 11 to 12% of the variance beyond basic demographics. Implications for future research are discussed.
