Abstract: Twenty eight study subjects with three different academic backgrounds (university students, professors and cleaning staff), ages 18 thru 51, were interviewed to measure cognitive functions from the frontal lobes using four Reading Tasks and six Frontal Lobe Tests. Reading Tasks and Frontal Lobe Tests are good predictors of cognitive functions and the former measure pre morbid functions. All of these tests have high correlations with frontal lobes damage and Frontal Lobe Tests have been previously tested to have correlations with frontal lobes cognitive functions. High correlations were found between some of the tests which could be assumed to be good predictors of cognitive functioning. Finally, the importance between the correlations found and the measurement of pre morbid functions are discussed.
