Abstract

Background: Health providers frequently probe patients' recall of current and/or remote news events to determine the extent of memory loss. Impaired memory for transient events (ie, in the news for a circumscribed time) may provide information regarding the onset of cognitive impairment.

Objective: To use the Transient News Events Test (TNET) to explore how memory changes over time in both older adults with cognitive impairment (CI) and noncognitively impaired (NCI) older adults. We also investigated the role of episodic and semantic memory on TNET performance.

Method: Sixty-seven older adults completed the TNET as part of a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment. Analyses included t tests to evaluate group differences for TNET score and correlations between TNET and neuropsychological measures, including episodic and semantic memory tests.

Results: NCI adults demonstrated better memory for TNET items than adults with CI. The NCI and CI groups did not differ regarding memory for remote events; however, the CI group exhibited worse memory for recent events. There was a significant association between TNET score and the capacity for episodic and semantic memory in the CI group. In the NCI group, TNET score was significantly associated with episodic memory.

Conclusion: Findings support the use of transient news events to assess remote memories in older adults. Novel remote memory measures broaden the scope of memory assessment far beyond what is feasible with traditional neuropsychological assessment and may provide insight into the onset of memory changes.

新闻记忆:事件的短暂性重要吗?
背景:卫生服务提供者经常调查患者对当前和/或远程新闻事件的回忆,以确定记忆丧失的程度。短暂事件记忆受损(即在限定时间内出现在新闻中)可能提供有关认知障碍发作的信息。目的:使用瞬态新闻事件测试(TNET)来探索患有认知障碍(CI)和非认知障碍(NCI)的老年人的记忆如何随时间变化。我们还研究了情景记忆和语义记忆对TNET表现的作用。方法:67名老年人完成了TNET,作为综合神经心理学评估的一部分。分析包括t检验,以评估TNET评分的组间差异以及TNET与神经心理学测量之间的相关性,包括情景记忆和语义记忆测试。结果:NCI成人对TNET项目的记忆优于CI成人。NCI组和CI组对远程事件的记忆没有差异;然而,CI组对最近的事件表现出较差的记忆力。CI组的TNET评分与情景记忆和语义记忆能力之间存在显著相关性。在NCI组中,TNET评分与情景记忆显著相关。结论:研究结果支持使用瞬时新闻事件来评估老年人的远程记忆。新的远程记忆测量拓宽了记忆评估的范围,远远超出了传统神经心理学评估的可行性,并可能提供对记忆变化开始的深入了解。

期刊介绍: Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology (CBN) is a forum for advances in the neurologic understanding and possible treatment of human disorders that affect thinking, learning, memory, communication, and behavior. As an incubator for innovations in these fields, CBN helps transform theory into practice. The journal serves clinical research, patient care, education, and professional advancement. The journal welcomes contributions from neurology, cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry, and other relevant fields. The editors particularly encourage review articles (including reviews of clinical practice), experimental and observational case reports, instructional articles for interested students and professionals in other fields, and innovative articles that do not fit neatly into any category. Also welcome are therapeutic trials and other experimental and observational studies, brief reports, first-person accounts of neurologic experiences, position papers, hypotheses, opinion papers, commentaries, historical perspectives, and book reviews.
