Abstract

Reasoning can be fast, automatic, and intuitive or slow, deliberate, and analytical. Use of one cognitive reasoning style over the other has broad implications for beliefs, but differences in cognitive style have not previously been reported in those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Here, the cognitive reflection test is used to measure cognitive style in healthy older adults and those with MCI. Those with MCI performed worse than cognitively healthy older adults, indicating they are more likely to engage in intuitive thinking than age-matched adults. This association is reliable after controlling for additional cognitive, self-report, and demographic factors. Across all measures, subjective cognitive decline was the best predictor of cognitive status. A difference in cognitive style represents a novel behavioral marker of MCI, and future work should explore whether this explains a broader pattern of reasoning errors in those with MCI, such as susceptibility to scams or impaired financial reasoning.

轻度认知障碍患者对启发式思维的依赖增加。
推理可以是快速、自动和直觉性的,也可以是缓慢、深思熟虑和分析性的。使用一种认知推理方式比使用另一种认知推理方式对信念有广泛的影响,但认知方式的差异在轻度认知障碍(MCI)患者中还没有报道过。本文采用认知反思测试来测量健康老年人和 MCI 患者的认知风格。与认知健康的老年人相比,MCI 患者的表现更差,这表明他们比年龄匹配的成年人更倾向于直觉思维。在控制了其他认知、自我报告和人口学因素后,这种关联是可靠的。在所有测量指标中,主观认知能力下降是预测认知状况的最佳指标。认知风格的差异代表了 MCI 的一种新的行为标记,未来的工作应探索这种差异是否能解释 MCI 患者更广泛的推理错误模式,如容易受骗或财务推理能力受损。

期刊介绍: The purposes of Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition are to (a) publish research on both the normal and dysfunctional aspects of cognitive development in adulthood and aging, and (b) promote the integration of theories, methods, and research findings between the fields of cognitive gerontology and neuropsychology. The primary emphasis of the journal is to publish original empirical research. Occasionally, theoretical or methodological papers, critical reviews of a content area, or theoretically relevant case studies will also be published.
