Notes
Studies
on the
relationships
between
smoking
and
cognitive
functioning
have
produced
equivocal
results
.
While
some
studies
indicate
that there are
significant
changes
in
cognitive
functioning
in
smokers
others
have
failed
to
confirm
these
differences
. The
purpose
of this
study
was
threefold
.
First
, to
examine
the
pattern
of
neuropsychological
changes
between
chronic
cigarette
smokers
and
non-smokers
.
Second
, to
determine
if
smokers
show
deficits
on
smell
identification
tests
when
compared
with
non-smokers
.
Third
, to
document
any
relationship
between
olfactory
deficits
and
cognitive
changes
among
smokers
.
Twenty
smokers
and
22
non-smokers
were
administered
brief
neuropsychological
tests
assessing
memory
,
attention
,
visual-constructional
and
visual-spatial
skills
,
visual-motor
functioning
, and
depression
. The
results
revealed
significant
differences
in
performance
between
smokers
and
non-smokers
on the
smell
identification
tests
, the
Digit
Symbol
Recall
, and the
Trail
Making
Tests
(Part
A)
.
Pearson
r
correlation
coefficient
tests
indicated
that
among
the
smokers
,
long-term
smoking
appeared
be
related
to
negative
consequences
on
smell
identification
,
memory
,
attention
, and
visual/motor
functioning
. These
results
broaden
the
understanding
of the
consequences
of
prolonged
smoking
has on
smell
identification
,
memory
,
attention
, and
visual/motor
functioning
.
Implications
of these
findings
are
discussed
.
