Table 1 Description of the levels of progression and cognitive domains involved
Levels of progression | Cognitive domains | |
|---|---|---|
1 | Simple instructions (e.g. “Go to the supermarket and buy two bottles of water”) with mini-map, arrow and list of tasks cues | Visuo-spatial orientation and attention |
2 | Simple instructions (e.g. “Go to the Pharmacy and buy one cream”) without cues | Visuo-spatial orientation, attention and memory |
3 | Complex instructions (e.g. “Go to the Post-office buy two stamps and pick up three packages”) with mini-map, arrow and list of tasks cues | Visuo-spatial orientation, attention and executive functions (reasoning and planning) |
4 | Complex instructions (e.g. “Go to the supermarket and buy one orange juice, two boxes of cereals and four breads”) without cues | Visuo-spatial orientation, attention, memory and executive functions (reasoning and planning) |
5 | Problem resolution instructions (e.g. “Pay the electricity bill”) with mini-map, arrow and list of tasks cues | Visuo-spatial orientation, attention and executive functions (problem resolution, reasoning and planning) |
6 | Problem resolution instructions (e.g. “Get some food for breakfast”) without cues | Visuo-spatial orientation, attention, memory and executive functions (problem resolution, reasoning and planning) |
