The Neuropsychology Core will continue to promote the goals of the Program and contribute directly to the individual projects by providing the resources for quantifying cognitive and behavioral characteristics of all subjects through brief, standardized neuropsychological testing. This will be done in conjunction with the Human Subjects/Data Analysis Core. The set of neuropsychological tasks administered by the Neuropsychology Core centers on measures of the specific domains of behavior that we found to be relevant to the proposed biomechanical studies based on data we have gathered in the first years of funding of this Program (e.g., psychomotor speed, attention, problem solving, affect/behavior). Several other brief measures have been added, based on specific needs associated with the Projects (e.g., assessments of working memory and visuospatial ability). The assessment will broaden the generalizability of the findings and allow finer analyses of these aspects of neuropsychological performance that relate to motor control. Within the overall goal of determine what are the critical neuropsychological domains that may underlie mobility impairments in the elderly and how these variables may relate to both physical capacities and psychological factors, the Neuropsychology Core will continue to be hypothesis driven. Neuropsychological tasks will be used to predict mobility task outcomes with the expectation that raising task complexity and presence of motor and/or cognitive impairments will call for increasingly higher cognitive skills to assure adequate coping and adjustment, as measured by successful task outcome. Interrelationships among neuropsychological performance domains compared between young and older subjects also will continue to be an important area of study as will the association between measures of neuropsychological ability and functional status. Finally, the Neuropsychology Core will continue to assist in the design, execution, analysis, and presentation of research with the Program as a whole.

神经心理学核心将继续促进该计划的目标 并通过提供 量化所有人的认知和行为特征的资源 受试者通过简短的，标准化的神经心理测试。这将 与人类受试者/数据分析核心一起完成。集合 由神经心理学核心管理的神经心理学任务 集中在我们发现的特定行为领域的测量， 与基于我们现有数据的拟议生物力学研究相关 在本计划资助的第一年收集的信息（例如，精神运动 速度、注意力、解决问题、影响/行为）。其他几个简短 已根据与《公约》有关的具体需要增加了措施， 项目（例如，工作记忆和视觉空间能力的评估）。 评估将扩大调查结果的普遍性， 对神经心理学表现的这些方面进行更精细的分析， 与运动控制有关。 在总体目标范围内，确定哪些是关键的 神经心理学领域，可能是运动障碍的基础， 老年人以及这些变量如何与身体能力和 心理因素，神经心理学的核心将继续是 假设驱动。神经心理学任务将用于预测 机动性任务结果，期望提高任务复杂性 运动和/或认知障碍的存在将要求 越来越高的认知技能，以确保适当的应对和 调整，以成功的任务结果衡量。相互关系 在神经心理学表现领域中， 老年人也将继续是一个重要的研究领域， 神经心理学能力的测量与 功能状态最后，神经心理学核心将继续 协助设计，执行，分析和研究的介绍 与整个计划。
