The Power of Personality in Discriminating Between Healthy Aging and Early-Stage Alzheimer's Disease
This study examined differences in personality in the earliest stages of dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) relative to healthy aging, and the power of personality in discriminating healthy aging from early-stage DAT. Four groups of participants (middle-aged controls, older controls, persons with very mild DAT, and persons with mild DAT) and their families were administered Costa and McCrae's NEO Five-Factor Inventory. On the basis of both self…

The AD8
BACKGROUND: Brief measures that accurately discriminate normal cognitive aging from very mild dementia are lacking. Cognitive tests often are insensitive to very mild dementia. Informant-based measures may be more sensitive in detecting early dementia. OBJECTIVE: To identify informant-reported clinical variables that differentiate cognitively normal individuals from those with very mild dementia. METHODS: A 55-item battery of informant queries re…
Self-Discipline and Self-Consciousness Predict Subjective Memory in Older Adults
Research has shown the personality variables of conscientiousness and neuroticism to be related to subjective memory in older adults. This study was designed to determine the specific facets of these traits involved in the relation between personality and memory complaints. Subjective memory evaluations were examined in 85 community-dwelling people aged 56 to 94 years. Regression analysis revealed that one facet of conscientiousness (self-discipl…
Personality Change Precedes Clinical Diagnosis of Dementia of the Alzheimer Type
We examined personality changes reported by a collateral source on the Blessed Dementia Scale in people who were nondemented when they entered a longitudinal study. Of the 108 participants examined here, 68 received a clinical diagnosis of dementia at some point after entry into the study. The other 40 participants died and came to autopsy with a clinical diagnosis of no dementia; however, 14 received a neuropathological diagnosis of Alzheimer's …
Predictors of Subjective Memory in Older Adults
Memory complaints by healthy older people usually show little relation to objective memory performance. If subjective memory evaluations are not driven by actual memory problems, what is the cause of these complaints? Correlations of an objective measure of memory as well as measures of personality, emotional distress, and health with subjective memory evaluations were examined in 283 community-dwelling people aged 45 to 94 years. Stepwise regres…
Age Equivalence in Feeling-of-Knowing Experiences
Three studies investigated potential age-related differences in the reliance of healthy young and older adults on trace-access and inferential mechanisms in making feeling-of-knowing (FOK) judgments. In Experiment 1 young and older adults attempted to retrieve referents of rare-word definitions presented in a self-paced questionnaire. Recall failures were followed by FOK ratings and a report of partial knowledge of referent characteristics. Gamma…
