Here, we present two distinct forms of data (reflective and evaluative) to tell the story of The HIVE and outline the project's achievements and shortcomings. Reflective data are used to describe the process of establishing a creative, cross-disciplinary collaboration, in order to devise and produce The HIVE.

Past research suggests that older adults expend more cognitive resources when processing visual speech than younger adults.

Objective: In this study, we, for the first time, evaluated future-oriented repetitive thought in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD), that is, how they think and worry about the future.
Methods: We administered the Future-Oriented Repetitive Thought scale to 34 patients with AD and 37 control participants. This scale assessed 3 categories of future-oriented repetitive thought: (1) pessimistic repetitive future thinking (eg, "I think about the possibility of losing people or things that are important to me"), (2) repetitive thinking about future goals (eg, "I make specific plans for how to get things that I want in life"), and (3) positive indulging about the future (eg, "When I picture good things happening in my future, it is as if they were actually happening to me now").

Cognitive fluctuations (CFs) are a core diagnostic feature of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).

The purpose of the current study is to test whether performance on the Sustained Attention Response Task (SART) could distinguish those patients with DLB with and without CF.
