A scoping review of emotion and non-cognitive measures of decision-making ability in older adults by the ARMCADA study
Introduction: Decision-making is a complex form of cognitive function that declines with age and is highly susceptible to impairment from dementia due to Alzheimer's and related neurogenerative diseases. Emotions and other non-cognitive assets are also believed to influence decision-making ability. The Advancing Reliable Measurement in Cognitive Aging and Decision-making Ability (ARMCADA) research initiative seeks to understand how measures of em…
Measures of healthcare decision-making ability in cognitive aging
Introduction: Declines in decision-making (DM) ability are often observed with increasing age and pose significant risk for negative health, financial, and functional outcomes. The Advancing Reliable Measurement in Cognitive Aging and Decision-making Ability (ARMCADA) research initiative aims to improve measurement of DM ability in aging to facilitate early detection of cognitive and functional decline. This scoping review summarizes the extant l…
The Paradox in Positive and Negative Aspects of Emotional Functioning Among Older Adults with Early Stages of Cognitive Impairment
Introduction: Emotional functioning in older adults is influenced by normal aging and cognitive impairment, likely heterogeneous across positive versus negative aspects of emotional functioning. Little is known about positive emotional experiences at the early stages of cognitive impairment. Methods: We assessed different aspects of emotional functioning among 448 participants aged 65+ (Normal Control (NC) = 276, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) =…
Eye movements as a measure of word comprehension deficits in primary progressive aphasia
Communication Partner Engagement
Internet-based, person-centered interventions demonstrate promise as a model for delivering speech-language therapy to individuals living with PPA. Maintenance is possible for at least 6 months postenrollment and is better for those with engaged communication partners, which supports the use of dyadic interventions
Ii. Nih Toolbox Cognition Battery (Cb)
In this chapter, we discuss two measures designed to assess executive function (EF) as part of the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery (CB) and report pediatric data from the validation study. EF refers to the goal-directed cognitive control of thought, action, and emotion. Two measures were adapted for standardized computer administration: the Dimensional Change Card Sort (a measure of cognitive flexibility) and a flanker task (a measure of inhibitory…
The diagnosis of dementia due to Alzheimer's disease
The National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association charged a workgroup with the task of revising the 1984 criteria for Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia. The workgroup sought to ensure that the revised criteria would be flexible enough to be used by both general healthcare providers without access to neuropsychological testing, advanced imaging, and cerebrospinal fluid measures, and specialized investigators involved in research or i…
Aphasics' Attention to Grammatical Morphemes
The widespread clinical description of Broca's aphasics as having relatively preserved comprehension compared to their reduced production provided the focus of a study of aphasics' attention to definite and indefinite articles. Aphasics of four types — classical Broca's, classical Wernicke's, mixed anterior, and anomic — chose figures in response to sentences in which articles were used sometimes appropriately and sometimes anomalously. Measures …
The acquisition of routines in child language
The acquisition of routines is one aspect of language development. Routines such asBye-bye, in contrast to more referential language, appear to be among the earliest acquisitions and are congruent with the sensori-motor child's capacities. This study investigates performance of the highly constrained Hallowe'enTrick or treatroutine in 115 children from 2 to 16 years of age. Changes in competence and the role of parental input are examined in rela…
