概括
像NIH工具箱认知电池 (NIHTB-CB) 这样的计算机认知测试显示了日常运作的适度预测. 特定的NIHTB-CB子测试对预测日常生活工具活动 (IADL) 的传统神经心理评估提供了轻微的改进.
科学领域:
- 神经心理学和认知评估
- 老年学与衰老研究
- 医疗服务和研究成果
背景情况:
- 神经心理学家传统上使用纸和笔测试来评估独立功能,解释了日常生活工具活动 (IADL) 的20%-37%的差异.
- 该领域正在向计算机化评估过渡,特别是国家卫生研究院工具箱认知电池 (NIHTB-CB).
- 之前的研究还没有研究NIHTB-CB和IADL性能之间的关系,也没有研究其与传统方法相比的预测效果.
研究的目的:
- 检查NIHTB-CB和IADL性能之间的关系.
- 为了确定NIHTB-CB是否比传统的神经心理评估更好地预测IADL的表现.
- 评估NIHTB-CB在预测IADL性能方面的增量有效性.
主要方法:
- 分析了74名参与"作为预防老年认知障碍的治疗方法"的数据.
- 参与者完成了全面的神经心理评估,NIHTB-CB和IADL能力测量.
- 使用线性和等级的多重回归分析来评估预测关系和增量有效性.
主要成果:
- 一些NIHTB-CB子测试预测了基于绩效的IADL功能,但不是自我或告密者报告的措施.
- 两个NIHTB-CB子测试显示了增量有效性,增加了IADL表现的轻度到中度预测能力超出传统措施 (效果大小:FΔR2=0.045-0.077).
- 个人NIHTB-CB子测试解释了IADL与传统测试相同的差异.
结论:
- 单个NIHTB-CB子测试的性能预测IADL的功能与传统测试类似.
- 评估处理速度和执行功能的子测试显示预测差异比匹配的传统措施略有增加.
- 临床医生在评估功能决定因素时应考虑计算机评估以外的其他因素.

Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists
Cognitive enhancers, also known as "smart drugs," are substances used to enhance memory, mental alertness, and concentration. These can be natural or synthetic and improve cognition in conditions like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. Some common examples include caffeine, amphetamines, methylphenidate, modafinil, arecoline, donepezil, vortioxetine, and piracetam. These enhancers work on the principle of synaptic plasticity and altered circuit function. They...
Alzheimer's Disease: Overview
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 and tau...

High-Level and Low-Level Awareness
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...
Cognitive Development During Adulthood
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,...
Alzheimer Disease l: Introduction
Alzheimer disease is a chronic, progressive, and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia in older adults. It leads to gradual neuronal loss, causing cognitive decline, behavioral changes, and loss of functional independence.Risk Factors and EtiologyThe disease is multifactorial. Age is the strongest risk factor, with prevalence doubling every 5 years after age 65. Genetic factors include mutations in genes such as APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2, which are associated...
Alzheimer Disease ll: Pathophysiology
Alzheimer disease involves structural changes in the brain that begin long before symptoms appear. The most distinctive features are extracellular neuritic plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles.Neuritic plaques form in the cerebral cortex and around blood vessels. These plaques contain a dense core of beta-amyloid (Aβ)—a toxic protein fragment that clumps outside neurons. The core is surrounded by damaged neuronal extensions, as well as reactive astrocytes and microglia. Abnormal...
