“…SRT‐total refers to the total number of words out of a possible 144 that the participant remembered. This test has been validated to predict dementia in the non‐specialty care in multiple settings . Furthermore, all subjects were administered the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRS‐D) and were examined by neuroimaging (CT scan or MRI).…”

“…In subsequent trials, participants are presented with only the non-recalled words from the previous trial. These selective reminding trials continue until the participant either recalls all 12 words on three consecutive trials, or until 12 trials have been completed ( Randall and Kerns, 2011 ). From this neuropsychological episodic memory test, a composite score derived from three sub scores—performance on the last trial, continuous long-term retrieval, and last retrieval—was available.…”

Principal component analysis suggests multiple dimensions of memory inhibition that are differentially affected by age

BackgroundCognitive inhibition is among the executive functions that decline early in the course of normal aging. Failures to be able to inhibit irrelevant information from memory may represent an essential factor of age-associated memory impairment. While a variety of elaborate behavioral tasks have been developed that presumably all index memory inhibition, the extent to which these different tasks measure the same underlying cognitive construct that declines with age has not been well explored.MethodsIn the current study, 100 and 75 cognitively healthy younger (n = 71; age = 30.7 ± 5.4 years, 56.7% female) and older (n = 104, age = 69.3 ± 5.9 years, 66.2% female) adults with equivalent educational attainment performed three computer-based memory inhibition tasks: the Retrieval Induced Forgetting task, the Suppress task, and the Directed Forgetting task. We conducted a principal component analysis using scores derived from different components of these tasks to explore whether and how the tasks relate to one another. We further investigated how age, sex and education, along with, in a subsample of the participants, a neuropsychological measure of episodic memory, impacted both the task scores individually, and the principal components derived from the exploratory analysis.ResultsWe identified 3 distinct sources of variability which represent potentially independent cognitive processes: memory retrieval facilitation, and two memory inhibition processes that distinguished themselves by the degree of volitional initiation of memory suppression. Only the memory retrieval component correlated with a neuropsychologically-derived episodic memory score, and both memory inhibition principal components were age dependent.ConclusionOur findings provide support for a distinction in memory suppression processes between those ‘instructed’ to be performed and those which happen without explicit instruction. This distinction adds nuance to the dichotomous classification of controlled vs. automatic inhibitory mechanisms, which have been shown in previous work to vary as a function of the degree of frontal involvement. Our findings further demonstrate that while both of these measures of inhibition were affected by age, the episodic memory component was not, suggesting that inhibitory impairments may precede memory deficits in healthy aging.

“…Consensus diagnosis was based upon data obtained through the core assessment battery including direct assessments of participant's cognitive abilities, and informant reports of participant's cognitive and functional abilities, maladaptive behaviors, psychiatric symptoms, and general health status. The direct performance-based measures were the Beery-Buktenica Test of Visualmotor integration [51], Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-4th Edition Block Design [52], Category Fluency Test [53], DSMSE [25], Haxby Extended Block Design [54], Modified Mini-Mental Status Examination [55], Selective Reminding Test [56], and Test for Severe Impairment [57]. The indirect informant-based measures were the DLD [24], Reiss Screen for Maladaptive Behavior [58], and the VABS-3 [26].…”

Background: While obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and insomnia symptoms in neurotypical populations are associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), their association with dementia in adults with Down syndrome (DS) remains less clear, even though these symptoms are prevalent and treatable in DS. Understanding their associations with AD-related dementia status, cognitive impairment, and functional deterioration may lead to interventions to slow decline or disease progression in adults with DS. Objective: To characterize differences in OSA and insomnia symptom expression by dementia status, and to determine which sleep factors support dementia diagnosis. Methods: Multimodal consensus conference was used to determine dementia status in 52 adults with DS (52.2 ± 6.4 years, 21 women). Cognitive impairment, adaptive behavior skills, and symptoms of OSA and insomnia were quantified using validated assessments for adults with DS and their primary informants. Results: A sex by dementia status interaction demonstrated that older women with DS and dementia had more severe terminal insomnia but not OSA symptoms relative to older women with DS who were cognitively stable (CS). Greater insomnia symptom severity was associated with greater functional impairments in social and self-care domains adjusting for age, sex, premorbid intellectual impairment, and dementia status. Conclusions: Insomnia symptoms are more severe in women with DS with dementia than in women with DS and no dementia, and regardless of dementia status or sex, more severe insomnia symptoms are associated with greater impairment in activities of daily living. These findings underscore the potential importance of early insomnia symptom evaluation and treatment in women with DS at risk of developing AD.
