Normative Data for the Tower of London Performance in Australian Midlife Women
The Tower of London (TOL) task is a well‐known neuropsychological measure of planning ability that is widely used in clinical and research contexts. Despite its popularity and recognised validity, clinical use of the TOL task has been limited in the adult population due to lack of comprehensive normative data. As a result, this measure has principally been employed in the clinical setting as a qualitative measure of planning skills. In this study…
Normative data for Australian midlife women on category fluencyand a short form of the Boston Naming Test
This study presents Australian normative data for verbal fluency and visual confrontational naming for midlife women and examines factors that mediate verbal performance in this population. Two hundred and fifty-seven healthy Australian-born women aged 56 – 67 years who participated in the Melbourne Women's Midlife Longitudinal Health Project were assessed for verbal fluency and visual confrontational naming. Verbal fluency was assessed using the…
Normative visuospatial performance in Australian midlife women
This paper presents normative data for visual – spatial ability in midlife Australian women. Understanding normative performance on visuospatial tasks has gained increasing importance recently with the emergence of the association between Alzheimer's disease and impairments in visuo-constructional skills and judgments of spatial relations. Thus, the availability of relevant local normative data is critical as a valid reference source in the clini…
Normative data for tasks of executive function and working memory for Australian-born women aged 56 – 67
Normative data for tests of working memory and executive function (a term adopted to cover a range of cognitive skills) are primarily based on the U.S. population and are not always specific for gender or education levels. The diagnosis of, and research into, cognitive diseases rely on the use of relevant normative data. This study presents normative data for an ageing, female, Australian-born population, and an analysis of the factors that contr…
The Menopause and Sexual Functioning: A Review of the Population-Based Studies
Sexual problems are among the most frequently presented health concerns of women attending menopause clinics. We examine rigorous observational studies of the menopausal transition to determine whether there are changes in sexual functioning associated with the menopausal transition and the relative roles of aging and hormonal factors. We detail the methodological limitations of menopause research. We then review studies documenting the effects o…
