Faces symbol test

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Faces-Symbol-Test (abbreviation FST ) is a neuropsychological screening test for the detection of cognitive disorders in multiple sclerosis (MS), which demands concentration, attention , working memory and executive functions and provides a measure of the speed of information processing. Data obtained with functional magnetic resonance imaging ( FMRT ) show that cerebral networks , which are often disturbed in MS, are used by the testing paradigm . Compared to other screening tests, the “FST” offers a favorable ratio of test effort to test quality.
