“…Data were collected as part of two larger experiments (extensions of Tagliabue et al, 2022), in two waves (from June 2021 to September 2021 and from January 2022 to April 2022), labeled from here on sample A and sample B. Participants were recruited using Prolific (www.prolific.co).…”

“…SATURN data were collected as part of a larger study in two waves. In the first wave (Tagliabue et al, 2022), only individuals with a SATURN score higher than 25 would complete additional cognitive tasks over multiple sessions. In these subsequent sessions, participants also completed a series of questionnaires that included the TECH questionnaire.…”

Widespread cognitive test screening as part of tele-public health initiatives necessitates a test that is self-administered online and automatically scored, with no clinician effort. The feasibility of unsupervised cognitive screening is unclear. We adapted the Self-Administered Tasks Uncovering Risk of Neurodegeneration (SATURN) to make it suitable for self-administration and automatic scoring. 364 healthy older adults completed SATURN via a web browser, in a fully independent manner. SATURN’s overall score was not modulated by gender, education, reading speed, the time of day at which the test was taken, or an individual’s familiarity with technology. SATURN proved extremely portable across operating systems. Importantly, comments from participants reported satisfaction with the experience and the clarity of the instructions. SATURN represents a fast and easy screening tool that can be used for a first assessment, during a routine test or clinical evaluation, or during periodic health monitoring, in person or remotely.

Tasks on multiple targets involve, to some extent, at least two capacity-limited classes of mechanisms: attentional individuation and visuo-spatial working memory (vWM). It is also known that these mechanisms tend to decline with aging. In this study, we hypothesized that if both mechanisms underlie the analysis of multiple objects, then training one task involving multiple objects should benefit other tasks requiring multiple object processing, regardless of task contents or instructions. In addition, we predicted that older adults would benefit more from the training protocol. To test these hypotheses, we trained two groups of young and older participants, one with a delayed match-to-sample (DMTS) task and one with rapid enumeration. Training effects (compared to test/re-test effects of a passive control group) were assessed on both DMTS and rapid enumeration. Results indicated a training-related benefit within and across tasks, regardless of age. Older adults’ gain from training was larger compared to the young counterpart. In addition, and irrespective of age, individual differences in baseline performance correlate with training outcomes, with compensatory activity likely occurring for low-performing individuals.
