| Abstract:The present study evaluated the hypothesis that prospective memory (ProM)
represents a unique cognitive construct in HIV infection. A confirmatory 4-factor
structural equation model derived from 162 participants with HIV infection revealed
that measures of ProM loaded on a unique factor, apart from tests of retrospective
memory, executive functions, and motor skills. The fit of the model was found to be
very good in absolute terms and better than several competing models. The results
of this study lend additional evidence to the dissociability of ProM in HIV infection
and are commensurate with evidence from previous studies in healthy adults. |
