概括
老年人的注意力缺失症状与认知测试的表现较差有关,类似于年轻人的发现. 这项研究强调了在晚年考虑注意力缺陷/多动障碍 (ADHD) 的重要性.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 老年学是一门学科.
- 精神病学是一个精神病学.
背景情况:
- 以前的研究已经确定了注意力缺陷/多动障碍 (ADHD) 症状和年轻人群中的认知缺陷之间的联系.
- 然而,中年和老年人的ADHD症状与认知表现之间的关系仍未得到充分研究.
研究的目的:
- 调查自我报告的ADHD症状 (注意力不集中和过度活跃/冲动性) 与中年和老年人的大量,全国代表性样本中的认知表现之间的关联.
- 探索不同年龄组 (中年,年轻,中年) 之间这些关联的潜在年龄相关差异.
主要方法:
- 利用了大约1400名参与2016年健康和退休研究 (HRS) 波的参与者的数据.
- 采用多组路径模型来分析自我报告的ADHD症状分级,抑郁症状和认知结果之间的关系 (序列7s,即时回忆).
主要成果:
- 自我报告的注意力缺失症状与Serial 7s和Immediate Recall认知任务的表现差显著相关.
- 一个受约束的模型显示出最佳匹配,表明不同年龄组的注意力缺失症状和认知结果之间的关联没有显著差异.
结论:
- 这些发现与以前对年轻人进行的研究一致,表明注意力缺失症状在整个生命周期中同样影响认知表现.
- 这项研究为晚年生活中的ADHD提供了有价值的见解,对临床实践和未来专注于老年人研究的潜在影响.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
718
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Cognitive Development During Adulthood
749
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,...

Information Processing Approach
494
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists
517
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.

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview
1.6K
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...
