Summary
This bibliometric analysis identifies key trends in post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) research, highlighting the significant role of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and its associated factors like hypertension.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Geriatrics
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is a major cause of disability in the elderly, with stroke being a primary risk factor.
- Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a significant contributor to stroke and is increasingly recognized for its role in PSCI.
- Early intervention can mitigate PSCI, underscoring the need for research into its underlying mechanisms and risk factors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify research priorities and trends in PSCI using bibliometric analysis.
- To explore the specific role of CSVD in the development and progression of PSCI.
- To provide insights for future research and clinical interventions in PSCI.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) database.
- Bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer and CiteSpace for visualization of research trends and focus.
- Keyword analysis of studies specifically linking CSVD and PSCI.
Main Results:
- A total of 1,943 publications on PSCI were identified, showing a consistent upward trend.
- Key research areas include functional connectivity, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.
- Hypertension, white matter hyperintensities (WMH), cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) are prominent keywords in CSVD-related PSCI research.
Conclusions:
- PSCI research is an evolving field with significant growth.
- CSVD, particularly linked to hypertension and MRI markers, plays a crucial role in PSCI.
- This study offers valuable insights for researchers and clinicians focused on PSCI prevention and treatment.

01:30Cognitive Development During Adulthood
38
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,...

Cognitive psychology emerged as a significant field in the mid-20th century. It focused on understanding humans' internal mental processes. This approach emphasizes how people perceive, remember, think, and solve problems—elements critical to human cognition.
Previously dominated by behaviorism, which prioritized observable behaviors and largely ignored mental processes, psychology transformed in the 1950s. Cognitive psychologists argue that understanding how we think and process...

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.

01:27Language and Cognition
302
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

01:26Alzheimer's Disease: Overview
405
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...

01:20Introduction to Cognitive Psychology
270
Cognitive psychology is the field of psychology dedicated to examining how people think. It attempts to explain how and why we think the way we do by studying the interactions among human thinking, emotion, creativity, language, and problem-solving, as well as other cognitive processes. Cognitive psychology studies how information is processed and manipulated in remembering, thinking, and knowing.
