Can anyone suggest any available behavioral tests to check the following cognitive domains:
i) Knowledge
ii) Comprehension
iii) Application
iv) analysis
v) Synthesis
vi) Evaluation
to test cognitive impairment induced by psychological stress.
This question is difficult to address as it is so broad. Perhaps if you provide more detail as to what your looking for, it would be easier to address. Especially considering there is debate as to if such test are applicable across species; methodologies that work for one species, such as a rat, would not necessarily to applicable to another species, such as a pigeon, as the sensory and perception differs drastically. For example, rats perform poorly with visual classifications tasks that pigeons excel with, potentially indicating a difference in cognitive abilities. But if tested with a chemosensory paradigm, the rats have a dramatic improvement in performance.
It is about hoe to check cognitive function in rat, especially how to check higher cognitive function?
In general, projects assessing potential impacts of variables on cognitive functions in rats usually involve spatial memory tasks (i.e. mazes)
A few studies which have used these methods:
