“…The memory measures were chosen according to the following criterion: validated and commonly used measures with representative norms were preferred over laboratory tasks and measures that were less commonly used. The included measures were: the California Verbal Learning Test [27,28], the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test [29], other list recall tasks [30,31,32], the Visual Verbal Learning Test [33], the logical memory subtest of the Wechsler Memory Scale [34], the Buschke Selective Reminding Test [35], the Guild Memory Test [36] and the Face-Name Task used by Andrewes et al [24]. …”

Background: Subjective memory complaints (SMC) in the absence of psychiatric or neurological disorders are common among older adults. Although increasing numbers of individuals are suffering from SMC, research into interventions alleviating SMC is sparse. The present systematic review was conducted in order to present a clearer picture of the quality, quantity and outcomes of SMC intervention research. Methods: PubMed and PsychInfo were searched with a comprehensive search string delivering 4,496 hits. Abstracts and – if applicable – full texts of these studies were screened by independent raters according to predefined criteria. Fourteen relevant studies were included in the review. The categories of intervention were: conventional memory training (MT; n = 8), expectancy change (EC: cognitive restructuring, psychoeducation, etc.; n = 5), combined interventions (n = 5), physical training (n = 1), and physical and mental training combined (n = 2). The outcomes were: subjective memory measures, objective memory, depressive symptoms and well-being. Results: EC, followed by combined interventions, was most efficient in influencing subjective memory. MT or physical and mental training combined were not efficient. On objective memory, MT was the only efficient intervention. No effects were found on depressive symptoms and well-being, with low numbers of studies in these comparisons. Conclusion: EC seems to be most efficient in influencing SMC, whereas in objective memory MT is the only effective intervention. Depressive symptoms or well-being do not seem to be influenced significantly by any of the interventions. To date, the number of high-quality publications on SMC interventions is relatively low. More randomized controlled trials including measures of depressive symptoms and well-being are needed.

“…One of the most widely used tests is the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT; Delis, Kramer, Kaplan, & Ober, 1987), which evolved into several alternate forms (Delis, et al, 1991; Delis, Kramer, Kaplan, & Ober, 2000; Libon, Mattson et al, 1996; Delis, Kramer, Kaplan, & Ober, 1994). The multiple conditions of the CVLT allows for delineation of where verbal memory performance breaks down (e.g., encoding, storage, retrieval) and provides data reflecting different processes (e.g., learning slope, recall consistency, proactive and retroactive interference, learning strategy, perseveration, intrusions).…”

Objective This article elucidates how the Boston Process Approach (BPA) can amplify the role of neuropsychology in the study of preclinical and clinical dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and how advancements in technology expand BPA capacity objectively and exponentially. Method The BPA is based on a conceptualization of cognition as being comprised of multiple processes, the nature of which could not possibly be captured by a single score on a test or battery of tests. Identification of these processes is only possible with careful observation of an individual during the entire testing process to determine how, when, and why a person fails, which helps to reveal the integrity of the cognitive processes underlying the behavior. Results BPA use within the Framingham Heart Study is described, including how digital technology has been incorporated to enhance the sensitivity of BPA to detect insidious onset changes even earlier than had been previously possible. The digital technology movement will dramatically alter the means by which cognitive function is assessed going forward. Conclusions Technological advances will catalyze groundbreaking discoveries for effective treatments of neurodegenerative cognitive disorders, such as AD, and inform novel strategies for dementia prevention and sustained lifelong cognitive health.

“…The WHISCA ancillary study used a battery of measures designed to assess a broad range of domain-specific cognitive functions (emphasizing tests that were expected to be sensitive to aging or effects of hormones) and mood states. Included in the battery was the Primary Mental Abilities Vocabulary Test [13] to measure verbal knowledge, the Letter and Semantic Fluency Tests [14,15] to measure phonemic and category fluency, the Benton Visual Retention Test [16] to measure short-term figural memory and visuo-construction, the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) [17] to measure verbal learning and memory, the Digit Span Test [18] to measure attention and working memory, the Card Rotations Test [19] to measure spatial rotational ability, the Finger Tapping Test [20] to measure fine motor speed, the Positive and Negative Affectivity Schedule [21] to assess positive and negative mood states, and the short form of the Geriatric Depression Scale [22] to measure nonsomatic features of depressed mood. Table 1 provides additional details; see also Resnick et al [11] .…”

Moderate levels of alcohol intake may be associated with better cognitive function; however, this relationship may vary between cognitive domains. Women, aged 65–80 years, enrolled in the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) randomized clinical trials of hormone therapy, underwent annual standardized testing for global cognitive function through the ancillary WHI Memory Study (average follow-up of 4.5 years) and domain-specific cognitive function through the WHI Study of Cognitive Aging (average follow-up of 1.7 years). Compared to nondrinkers, women reporting moderate levels of alcohol intake (≤3 drinks per day) performed better on a measure of global cognitive function. Women reporting any alcohol intake also performed better on tests of verbal knowledge, verbal fluency, figural memory, verbal memory, attention and working memory, and motor speed (all p < 0.05), but not spatial ability (p = 0.36). After covariate adjustment, mean scores were higher among women reporting ≧1 drink/day by 5.7% for verbal knowledge (p < 0.001) and by 5.7% for phonemic fluency (p = 0.004), compared to never-drinkers. Moderate levels of alcohol intake are associated with somewhat better cognition, which may be expressed most strongly in functions related to verbal knowledge and phonemic fluency. However, our observational study cannot rule out confounding associations with unmeasured factors.
