Characteristics of discrimination and ambulatory cognitive performance among older Black and White adults
Perceived discrimination has been linked with neurocognitive disparities between Black and White adults. Yet, cognitive assessments outside of laboratory settings and the relevance of perceived reasons for discrimination require additional attention. The present work addressed associations between discrimination and ambulatory cognitive performance (i.e., spatial working memory, short-term memory binding, processing speed) in ecological settings …
Examining the Impact of Race and Poverty on the Relationship Between Purpose in Life and Functional Health
Social support moderates association between area deprivation index and changes in physical health among adults in the Baltimore Study of Black Aging (BSBA)
Despite the association of neighborhood quality with poorer adult health, limited research has explored the association between neighborhood disadvantage, e.g. Area Deprivation Index (ADI), and older Black adults' health, prospectively. This observational study examined the association between ADI and changes in longitudinal physical health within older Black adults. The analytic sample ( n = 317) included data from waves 1 & 2 of the Baltimore S…
Personality and cognitive errors in the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span study
Home Usability for Older Adults
More Than Just Race
Exploring the Association Between Affect and Leisure Activity Engagement in Black Adults
Results demonstrate within-person changes in the types of leisure engagement among Black adults. Potential factors related to these changes may result from interconnections between affect and demographic factors (age and education)
Differential Associations Between the Area Deprivation Index and Measures of Physical Health for Older Black Adults
The findings suggest that national- and state-level place-based characteristics should be considered along with individual-level factors, which can enrich the scientific understanding of how neighborhood characteristics relate to varying health indicators among older Black adults
Discrimination and Education Quality Moderate the Association of Sleep With Cognitive Function in Older Black Adults
Sociocultural factors (i.e., discrimination and education quality) can further explain the association between sleep and cognitive functioning and cognitive impairment risk among older Black adults
Correlates of Life Satisfaction Among Middle-Aged and Older Black Adults
The Effects of Selective Survival on Black Adults’ Cognitive Development
Findings suggest a selective survival effect for inductive reasoning ability among Blacks. With decline evident so early, common cognitive intervention programs targeting adults 65+ may come too late for Blacks, signifying the importance and urgency for early health interventions and public policy designed to promote cognitive reserve
Predicting Control Beliefs in Older Adults
Our findings showed the differentiated antecedents of locus of control and perceived competence, the unique role of sleep self-efficacy, positive affect, and negative affect in understanding antecedents of both, as well as the need to study well-being and cognition antecedents of control beliefs in future studies
Older Black Adults’ Satisfaction and Anxiety Levels After Completing Alternative Versus Traditional Cognitive Batteries
Computer-based cognitive batteries appear to be less intimidating than the commonly used paper-and-pencil neuropsychological tests for Black adults. Thus, these cognitive batteries may be useful tools for monitoring older Blacks' cognitive status
The Association between Subjective Memory Complaints and Sleep within Older African American Adults
Evaluation of sleep may be warranted when older adults, particularly African Americans, communicate concerns regarding their memory. Insufficient sleep may be a useful marker of acute daytime dysfunction and, perhaps, cognitive decline. Given memory problems are the hallmark of dementia, our findings support further evaluation of whether poor sleep can aid in the diagnosis of cognitive impairment
Perceived neighborhood characteristics predict severity and emotional response to daily stressors
Daily Fluctuations in Everyday Cognition
These findings demonstrate that within-person performance fluctuations can be observed for everyday cognition tasks, and these fluctuations are consistent with daily changes in basic cognitive abilities
Cognition and Health in African American Men
Results suggest that lung function is important to consider when examining cognitive function in African American men. Understanding the role of health in cognition and implications for quality of life in this population will be critical as life expectancies increase
Education Desegregation and Cognitive Change in African American Older Adults
Overall, these findings suggest a slight advantage of desegregated schooling for cognitive performance, but no advantage of desegregated schooling on the rate of cognitive change over time in this sample
Racial Differences in Self-Reports of Short Sleep Duration in an Urban-Dwelling Environment
Although racial disparities in sleep duration are minimized when the environment is equivalent between blacks and whites, the underlying demographic and health explanations for short sleep durations may vary between whites and blacks
Factor Structure of Cognitive Ability Measures in Older African Americans
An Examination of Dedifferentiation in Cognition Among African–American Older Adults
Perceived neighborhood characteristics predict severity and emotional response to daily stressors
