Conceptualisation of financial capability in adults with acquired cognitive impairment: A qualitative evidence synthesis
View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Financial capability models for adults with cognitive impairment are inconsistent. Research needs to include lived experiences to improve care for individuals with neurological conditions and dementia.
Area Of Science
- Neuroscience
- Gerontology
- Economics
Background
- Adults with acquired cognitive impairment face challenges in financial capability.
- Understanding financial capability is crucial for individuals with acquired brain injury, neurological diseases, and dementia.
Purpose Of The Study
- To explore definitions, theoretical models, and conceptual frameworks of financial capability in adults with cognitive impairment.
- To synthesize existing literature on financial capability in this population.
Main Methods
- A systematic literature search was conducted across multiple databases (PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, ABI-inform, SCOPUS, Cochrane).
- Qualitative evidence synthesis guided by PRISMA guidelines was employed.
- Included papers were screened, quality appraised, and data thematically synthesized.
Main Results
- Twenty-one papers were included, identifying fifteen distinct models of financial capability.
- Inconsistent terminology and definitions were noted across studies.
- Models increasingly incorporate real-world performance and contextual factors, with a focus on dementia and multidisciplinary approaches.
Conclusions
- Existing models of financial capability for cognitively impaired adults lack consistency.
- Further research incorporating consumer lived experience is essential.
- Improved models are needed to inform care practices for this complex population.

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,...
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...
Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...
Controlled processes in human consciousness represent high-alert mental states where individuals deliberately focus their attention on achieving specific goals. Controlled processes can be seen in situations like mastering new technology, where a person might become so absorbed that they ignore surrounding distractions. Such processes involve selective attention, requiring one to concentrate on particular elements of experience while disregarding others. These are governed by executive...
Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...
During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...
