Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

517
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Dementia01:30

Dementia

291
Dementia is a collective term for cognitive disorders primarily affecting memory, thinking, and reasoning. It is not a specific disease but a syndrome, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common cause, accounting for approximately 60-80% of cases. Other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Dementia affects millions worldwide, particularly older adults, though it is not a normal part of aging.
The progression of dementia is generally gradual....

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview01:26

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

1.1K
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

586
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia01:30

Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia

234
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia indicate a reduction or absence of typical behaviors and emotional responses found in healthy individuals, while positive symptoms reflect an excess or distortion of normal functioning.
Negative Symptoms
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia manifest as deficits in normal emotional and behavioral functioning, profoundly impacting daily life. Individuals with schizophrenia often display a flat affect, characterized by a near-total absence of emotional expression,...

Working Memory01:24

Working Memory

572
Working memory refers to a combination of components, including short-term memory and attention, that allow an individual to hold information temporarily as we perform cognitive tasks. It is an essential cognitive function that enables the execution of complex tasks such as problem-solving, comprehension, and reasoning. Unlike short-term memory, which simply involves the storage of information for a brief period, working memory involves the active manipulation and processing of this...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Understanding the lived experience of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is crucial for developing targeted interventions and support systems.
  • Previous research has not fully captured the day-to-day realities and subjective experiences of individuals with MCI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the subjective experience of a typical week for individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
  • To document key activities, barriers encountered, and facilitators or supports utilized by individuals with MCI.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study employing remote, individual photo-elicitation interviews with 11 community-dwelling adults aged 55+ with MCI.
  • Participants took 5-10 photographs over one week to guide semi-structured interviews.
  • Thematic analysis of interview transcripts using Dedoose software.

Main Results:

  • Key activities included physical activity, social engagement, spiritual practices, hobbies, and cognitive stimulation.
  • Participants reported disruptions to routines, reduced activity levels, and increased use of compensatory strategies and environmental supports (e.g., calendars, smartphones).
  • Emergent themes included disclosure of diagnosis and future-oriented reflections.

Conclusions:

  • Participant-generated photos effectively facilitated data collection and discussion of sensitive topics related to MCI.
  • Findings highlight the importance of meaningful, health-promoting activities and tailored supports for individuals with MCI.
  • Addressing barriers and leveraging facilitators can enhance well-being and promote engagement in daily life for those with MCI.
