Objective: Unidentified sex differences in old-age cognition may emerge in psychometric networks, which look beyond mean scores into the unique cognitive structure of males and females. Accordingly, this study aims to examine cognition in well-functioning older males and females with psychometric network analysis.
Methods: The current cohort (N = 2,802) of community-dwelling adults (≥65 years) was derived from the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly study.

Bilingual language control is a dynamic cognitive system that enables individuals to effectively manage language use and prevent interference when switching between languages.

The knowledge of "clinical molecular biology testing technology" is complex, conceptual expressions are abstract and difficult to understand, and the student's interest in learning is low. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a cyclic teaching method based on case analysis combined with an exploratory teaching method using mind mapping as an assignment. Students from the 2019 cohort of medical laboratory technology at Hunan University of Chinese Medicine served as the control group and received conventional lecture-based teaching methods.
