Introduction: Associations between amyloid-tau-neurodegeneration (ATN) plasma biomarkers and cognition have not been characterized in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Methods: Using data from participants in the Glycemic Variability and Fluctuations in Cognitive Status in Adults with T1D (GluCog) study ( = 114), we evaluated associations between phosphorylated tau (pTau)181, pTau217, β-amyloid 42/40 ratio, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and neurofilament light (NfL) and self-administered digital cognitive tests, adjusting for age, sex, education, comorbidities (e.g.

Article Synopsis
  • - Widespread replication and generalization failures in science highlight the need for diverse and large-scale testing, suggesting that robust results are often not achieved due to methodological limitations.
  • - Developmental psychology specifically should adopt citizen science, where volunteers help gather data, as a solution to enhance the diversity and scale of research samples.
  • - While citizen science has proved effective in fields like astronomy and ecology, it is becoming increasingly valuable in developmental psychology, despite some practical challenges and limitations.

However, there is no consensus as to whether attention is impaired. We suggest that a major reason for this lack of agreement is a lack of construct validity for neuropsychological attention tests.
