Article Synopsis
- * Participants with mild dementia were found to make riskier crossing decisions compared to healthy controls, especially in more complex traffic situations.
- * Cognitive tests indicated that slower processing speed and visual attention deficits contributed to these risky decisions, suggesting a need for clinicians to assess these abilities to ensure safe mobility in elderly patients.
