Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Background: Black/African American adults (B/AAs) are 64% more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease (AD) than non-Hispanic White adults (NHWs), and risk factors, including non-biological determinants, are not fully delineated. Social determinants of health, such as socioeconomic status and lifetime discrimination, are associated with cognitive decline and increased AD risk. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships of a perceived discrimination measure with sociodemographic characteristics and cognitive function in a racially diverse cohort of middle-aged adults with a parental history of AD.

Brooklyn College of the City University of New York, Brooklyn, NY, USA.
Background: With the worldwide geriatric population steadily increasing, identifying older adults in need of treatment for cognitive difficulties is imperative. Limited specialty resources makes it particularly important to identify which individuals would most benefit from further evaluation and treatment, including in countries where dementia care is limited, such as India. Self-report measures are timely and cost effective tools that can assist providers in identifying individuals at risk of cognitive decline.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of Minnesota Duluth, Duluth, MN, USA.
Background: When designing cutting-edge technology, particularly humanoid social robots, an essential consideration is understanding how individuals naturally engage in social interactions, shaping their relationships with technology and media.
Method: In pursuit of insights into the application of natural human behavior, specifically reciprocation, in human-robot interaction, an experiment involving 72 participants, involving facial electromyography, focusing on zygomatic and corrugator muscles, served as a tool to gauge users' emotional valence during interactions. The study assessed users' willingness to reciprocate a favor and measured compliance by tracking the number of raffle tickets purchased by users at the robot's request.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
Background: Self-administered cognitive assessments demonstrate usability and ability to detect cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease, but usability in other neurodegenerative diseases is understudied. We investigated whether Mayo Test Drive (MTD), a self-administered multi-device compatible cognitive assessment platform, demonstrates usability and correlation with traditional neuropsychological tests in a pilot study of individuals with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
Method: Eleven individuals with PSP (mean age = 69.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Memory and Aging Center, UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA.
Background: Subjective cognitive concerns are common in functionally intact adults, potentially indicating future cognitive decline. Remote smartphone cognitive testing holds promise for objectively tracking cognition in individuals reporting complaints. In our initial exploration of the link between subjective cognitive complaints and digital clinical outcomes, we examined participants' self-reported cognitive complaints' association with smartphone tests on memory and executive functioning.
