What the CERAD Battery Can Tell Us about Executive Function as a Higher-Order Cognitive Faculty
Figure 1
Confirmatory factor models with nine variables included. The total MMSE is shown in the models below, but we also fit the three models with WORLD backwards on the factor with verbal fluency and the Boston Naming Task—with and without the remainder of the MMSE on the “praxis” factor. The one-factor (null) model is not shown, but was also fit with the total MMSE; with the MMSE separated into score on WORLD and score on the remainder of the MMSE; and with just the WORLD backwards score.
