Preliminary validation of the Virtual Kitchen Challenge as an objective and sensitive measure of everyday function associated with cerebrovascular disease.

Unlabelled: Preliminary validity of a computer-based test of everyday function (Virtual Kitchen Challenge [VKC]) was examined against brain-imaging markers of cerebrovascular disease and in contrast to conventional neuropsychological and self-report measures. Twenty community-dwelling older adults ( = 6 mild cognitive impairment) performed simulated breakfast and lunch tasks using a computer touchscreen (VKC). Automated measures (completion time, proportion time off screen, etc.

The frequency of self-reported memory failures is influenced by everyday context across the lifespan: Implications for neuropsychology research and clinical practice.

To investigate the influence of contextual factors on self-reports of cognitive abilities, this study investigated whether the frequency of self-reported memory failures was affected by level of daily busyness (Busyness) and daily routines (Routine) and whether age moderated these relations. The influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on self-reported memory failures also was explored. 902 community-dwelling participants ( age= 56.
