Individual domains (Table 3):
Using the WSIC-IVINDIA, various domains of
neurocognition was assessed. The first domain is verbal comprehension,
assessed by the Verbal Comprehension Index. The mean VCI of the entire
sample population was 88.4(SD 21.6), with 34(49%) children showing a
significant deficit in this domain(VCI score < 90).
The second domain was perceptual reasoning, whach was tested by the
Perceptual Reasoning Index and included assessment of block designing,
picture conceptualization, matrix reasoning and picture completion
abilities. The PRI was 89.0(SD 18.0) with 35(50%) of the population
having a score of <90.
The working memory of the entire sample population was the third domain
assessed. The mean WMI calculated was 87.5(SD 21.0) and 33(47%)
children were found to have a significant deficit of WMI(<
90).
The fourth and final domain evaluated was the processing speed ability
of an individual by the processing speed index. The mean PSI of the
entire sample population was 90.3(SD 19.0) with 3(44%) children having
clinically significant neurocognitive deficit.
