RELATIONSHIPS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL DIMENSIONS TO IMPAIRMENT IN A POPULATION WITH CEREBROVASCULAR INSUFFICIENCY

Abstract

One hundred thirty-eight patients with cerebrovascular insufficiency (CVI) were given a battery of 26 psychological tests as well as extensive medical and neurological examinations. BC TRY cluster analysis (V-analysis) of the psychological data yielded seven dimensions, which were reduced by statistical criteria to four, and were labeled verbal, numerical, visual-motor, and somatic. Further analysis (0-analysis) defined 15 subject types which differed from each other on the four dimensions. Finally, a 4Cast analysis based on the subject types yielded 42 statistically significant relationships of physiological and neurological variables. The implications of these findings in terms of diagnosis and rehabilitation were discussed, as well as plans for future research along the same lines.
