ABSTRACT The logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) is characterized mainly by anomia, production of phonological errors, and impairment in repetition of sentences. The functional origin of these language impairments is mainly attributed to the breakdown of phonological short-term memory. The present study examined the effects of phonological short-term memory impairment on language

Age-related differences in selective associative memory: implications for responsible remembering Aging Neuropsychol. Cognit. (IF 2.102) Pub Date : 2023-08-18 Dillon H. Murphy, Kara M. Hoover, Alan D. Castel
ABSTRACT While often showing associative memory deficits, there may be instances when older adults selectively remember important associative information. We presented younger and older adults with children they would be hypothetically babysitting, and each child had three preferences: a food they like, a food they dislike, and a food they are allergic to and must avoid. In Experiment 1, all foods

Functional social isolation mediates the association between depression and executive function in older women: findings from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging Comprehensive cohort Aging Neuropsychol. Cognit. (IF 2.102) Pub Date : 2023-06-23 Anita Iacono, Mark Oremus, Colleen J. Maxwell, Suzanne L. Tyas
ABSTRACT Depression and social isolation increase risk for executive function declines and are among the top five modifiable risk factors for dementia. However, the interrelationships between depression, social isolation and executive function are not well established. Further evidence is needed to inform strategies to promote executive function and independence in older age. We examined whether social

Aging effects on extrapersonal (far-space) attention: cancellation and line bisection performance from 179 healthy adults Aging Neuropsychol. Cognit. (IF 2.102) Pub Date : 2023-06-14 Helen Morse, Amy A. Jolly, Hannah Browning, Allan Clark, Valerie Pomeroy, Stéphanie Rossit
ABSTRACT Assessment of cognitive impairments is a vital part of clinical practice. Cancellation (visual search) and line bisection are commonly used tasks to assess visuospatial attention. Despite the fact visuospatial attention is engaged in both near (within reach) and far-space (out of reach), most studies have been conducted in near-space alone. Moreover, despite their use in clinical practice

The effect of hearing loss on age-related differences in neural distinctiveness Aging Neuropsychol. Cognit. (IF 2.102) Pub Date : 2023-06-12 Maria J. S. Guerreiro, Sebastian Puschmann, Judith Eck, Franziska Rienäcker, Pascal W.M. Van Gerven, Christiane M. Thiel
ABSTRACT Age differences in cognitive performance have been shown to be overestimated if age-related hearing loss is not taken into account. Here, we investigated the role of age-related hearing loss on age differences in functional brain organization by assessing its impact on previously reported age differences in neural differentiation. To this end, we analyzed the data of 36 younger adults, 21

Distinguishable features of spontaneous speech in Alzheimer’s clinical syndrome and healthy controls Aging Neuropsychol. Cognit. (IF 2.102) Pub Date : 2023-06-05 Erin Burke, John Gunstad, Olesia Pavlenko, Phillip Hamrick
ABSTRACT There is growing evidence that subtle changes in spontaneous speech may reflect early pathological changes in cognitive function. Recent work has found that lexical-semantic features of spontaneous speech predict cognitive dysfunction in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The current study assessed whether Ostrand and Gunstad’s (OG) lexical-semantic features extend to predicting

Beyond social engagement: cognitive training leads to greater cognitive improvement in older adults Aging Neuropsychol. Cognit. (IF 2.102) Pub Date : 2023-05-23 Shachar Ben Izhak, Lukas Diedrich, Andrea Antal, Michal Lavidor
ABSTRACT Aging is often accompanied by a decline in cognitive functions, with memory being particularly affected. Recent studies suggest that cognitive training sessions that teach memory strategies relevant to daily life may benefit seniors who live in the community. However, it is possible that the cognitive improvement observed in these programs results from the social encounters embedded in them

Uncorrected errors and correct saccades in the antisaccade task distinguish between early-stage Alzheimer’s disease dementia, amnestic mild cognitive impairment, and normal aging Aging Neuropsychol. Cognit. (IF 2.102) Pub Date : 2023-04-02 Hatice Eraslan Boz, Koray Koçoğlu, Müge Akkoyun, Işıl Yağmur Tüfekci, Merve Ekin, Pınar Özçelik, Gülden Akdal
ABSTRACT Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia is a degenerative illness that is characterized by a gradual decline in cognitive abilities. Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) is seen as a precursor to AD. The changes in antisaccade performance that can be seen in MCI may provide important clues in the early detection of AD. Therefore, the antisaccade deficits in AD and aMCI remain a research question

Evidence for the role of affective theory of mind in face-name associative memory Aging Neuropsychol. Cognit. (IF 2.102) Pub Date : 2023-03-31 Lucas J. Hamilton, Anne C. Krendl
ABSTRACT Poor face-name recall has been associated with age-related impairments in cognitive functioning, namely declines in episodic memory and executive control. However, the role of social cognitive function – the ability to remember, process, and store information about others – has been largely overlooked in this work. Extensive work has shown that social and nonsocial cognitive processes rely

The impact of music making on neural efficiency & dual-task walking performance in healthy older adults Aging Neuropsychol. Cognit. (IF 2.102) Pub Date : 2023-03-31 Sydney Jacobs, Meltem Izzetoglu, Roee Holtzer
ABSTRACT Music making is linked to improved cognition and related neuroanatomical changes in children and adults; however, this has been relatively under-studied in aging. The purpose of this study was to assess neural, cognitive, and physical correlates of music making in aging using a dual-task walking (DTW) paradigm. Study participants (N = 415) were healthy adults aged 65 years or older, including

Detecting mild cognitive impairment remotely with the modified memory impairment screen by telephone Aging Neuropsychol. Cognit. (IF 2.102) Pub Date : 2023-03-23 Amanda L. Stein, Kathryn A. Tolle, Amanda N. Stover, Marcelle D. Shidler, Robert Krikorian
ABSTRACT The original Memory Impairment Screen by Telephone (MIST) was designed to identify individuals with dementia but was relatively ineffective for identification of less severe impairment observed in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). We expanded the original MIST to create a modified instrument (mMIST) with greater sensitivity to less severe memory impairment. Older men and women with subjective

ABSTRACT Cognitive, social, and physical activities, collectively linked to cognitive reserve, are associated with better late-life cognitive outcomes. To better understand the building of cognitive reserve, we investigated which of these activities, during which stages of life, had the strongest associations with late-life cognitive performance. From the Sydney Memory and Aging Study, 546 older Australians
