Abstract Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDs) are a global crisis facing the aging population society as whole. With numbers of people with ADRDs predicted to rise dramatically across world, scientific community can no longer neglect need for research focusing on among underrepresented ethnoracial diverse groups. The Association International Society Advance Research Treatment (ISTAART; alz.org/ISTAART ) comprises number professional interest areas (PIAs), each major area...
Abstract Introduction Our primary goal was to examine demographic and clinicopathologic differences across an ethnoracially diverse autopsy‐confirmed cohort of Alzheimer's disease cases. Methods A retrospective study conducted in the Florida Autopsied Multi‐Ethnic on 1625 cases, including decedents who self‐reported as Hispanic/Latino (n = 67), black/African American 19), white/European 1539). Results Hispanic had a higher frequency family history cognitive impairment (58%), earlier age at...
Objective: This study cross-validated the Dot Counting Test (DCT) as a performance validity test (PVT) among mixed clinical veteran sample. Completion time and error patterns also were examined by group cognitive impairment status.Method: cross-sectional included 77 veterans who completed DCT during evaluation. Seventy-four percent (N = 57) classified valid 26% noncredible 20) via Word Memory (WMT) of Malingering (TOMM). Among participants, 47% 27) cognitively impaired, 53% 30)...
A prior report found unusually high rates of performance validity test (PVT) failure in undergraduate research participants (31%-56%). The present study examined 110 volunteers three conditions (positive, neutral, or negative demand characteristics) either an easy to hard a progression neuropsychological tests using the Word Memory Test PVT. Neither characteristics nor order had substantial effect on performance, and only 6.4% rate was These results suggest that testing experiments are...
Objective: Surveys of practicing neuropsychologists have been conducted for years; however, there no comprehensive surveys neuropsychology trainees, which may result in important issues being overlooked by the profession. This survey assessed trainees' experiences areas such as student debt, professional development, and training satisfaction.Method: Survey items were written a task force AACN Student Affairs Committee (SAC), trainees recruited via neuropsychology-focused listservs. In...
To describe clinical and pathologic characteristics of corticobasal degeneration (CBD) with cognitive predominant problems during the disease course.In a series autopsy-confirmed cases CBD, we identified patients rather than motor features (CBD-Cog), including 5 thought to have Alzheimer (AD) 10 behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (FTD). We compared CBD-Cog those from 31 syndrome (CBD-CBS). For comparisons between CBD-CBS, used semiquantitative scoring neuronal glial lesion types in...
Objective: Board certification (BC) in clinical neuropsychology via the American of Clinical Neuropsychology (ABCN) is a rigorous process demonstrating competence to practice. While myths about BC have been addressed, barriers yet be studied. The aim this study was identify among trainees and professionals. Method: Data were collected through pre-webinar surveys administered 1202 participants across four webinars conducted between 2018 2021. surveys, open-ended questions, captured specific...
To provide a brief presentation of preliminary data on rehabilitation services provided by clinical neuropsychologists within the United States. This survey utilized extracted from larger international research study conducted in 39 countries including N = 173 professionals who reported to engage neuropsychological rehabilitative past year (63.6% female, 44.36 ± 11.83 years age) took part study. Neuropsychologists providing States were more likely individual versus group therapy, employ...
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) confers a higher risk of developing dementia. While largely preserved, instrumental activities daily living (IADLs) may be affected to varying degrees by MCI. The Memory Support System (MSS) is curriculum and calendar/note-taking system that has proven effective in sustaining independence IADLs for individuals with MCI protecting mood among care partners. Until recently, the MSS only been utilized English- Spanish-speaking samples. This study investigated use...
Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is prevalent in the general population, particularly among Hispanic adults. SCD increases risk of mild impairment (MCI) and dementia. While non-pharmacologic interventions are recommended to mitigate preserve daily function MCI, such not readily available for Spanish-speaking adults with SCD. This pilot study, preregistered at clinicialtrials.gov, aimed develop a linguistically culturally appropriate adaptation an existing memory compensation intervention,...
Abstract Background Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) confers a higher risk of developing dementia and may interfere with instrumental activities daily living (IADLs). The Memory Support System (MSS) is curriculum calendar/note‐taking system that has proven effective to sustain independence in IADLs individuals MCI protect mood among support partners. Until recently, the MSS only been utilized English‐ Spanish‐speaking samples. Method This study investigated use translated culturally adapted...
Despite the projected increase in dementia prevalence and growing proportion of ethnic minorities U.S., little is known about clinicopathologic differences ethnoracially diverse individuals with autopsy-confirmed Alzheimer's disease (AD). Of particular interest applicability “Hispanic mortality paradox” context AD. This epidemiological phenomenon has previously suggested comparable or more advantaged longevity despite socioeconomic disadvantage relative to Caucasians/non-Hispanic Whites. Our...
