Alzheimers Dement (Amst)
December 2019
Introduction: Culturally fair cognitive assessments sensitive to detecting changes associated with prodromal Alzheimer's disease are needed.
Methods: Performance of Hispanic and non-Hispanic older adults on the Loewenstein-Acevedo Scale of Semantic Interference and Learning (LASSI-L) was examined in persons with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) or normal cognition. The association between a novel cognitive marker, the failure to recover from proactive semantic interference (frPSI), and cortical thinning was explored.
