There are limited systematic dichotic studies that have compared the differences between normal aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD).

The developed novel dichotic test was administered on a total of 65 subjects, 25 middle-aged adults 25 older adults, and 15 older adults with Alzheimer's disease under four conditions. The within-subject comparison revealed a significant left ear (LE) deficit in older adults and Alzheimer's subjects. The results showed a significantly poorer score in switch attention when compared to forced attention only in Alzheimer's subjects. Overall, the study was able to identify significant perceptual and cognitive deficits in older individuals and individuals with Alzheimer's population. Moreover, the switch attention condition showed a significant reduction in the performance of Alzheimer's patients when compared to older individuals, thus being a remarkable distinguishing factor in the differential diagnosis of cognitive deficits between the two.","PeriodicalId":520721,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychology, development, and cognition.

However, this difference is poorly characterized, and findings are mixed, possibly due to variations in definitions of musical experience, cognitive measurements, and analytical approaches. To address this, the current study used a coordinated analysis approach to investigate whether there were differences in performance in certain cognitive domains between older adults with musical experience and those without. Two datasets were analyzed: the Einstein Aging Study (EAS) and the Gothenburg H70 Birth Cohort Studies (H70). Employing stringent matching procedures and combining frequentist and Bayesian approaches, the analysis provided a nuanced view of the data. Domain-level analyses compared cognitive performance in visuospatial abilities, processing speed, and memory (H70), and memory and vocabulary (EAS), as well as executive functions. Years of education and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores predicted cognitive performance across measures in both datasets. In H70, those with musical experience significantly outperformed those without in visuospatial abilities, processing speed, memory, and executive function. No significant differences were observed in EAS. These findings reaffirm the complexity and variability of the music-cognition relationship. Given that education and MMSE consistently predicted cognitive outcomes, differences between datasets were likely due to group characteristics rather than cognitive measures. Instrument playing, for example, may offer stronger cognitive benefits than singing, which was the primary difference between music groups across datasets. This research highlights the need for comprehensive musical experience measures to uncover whether specific musical activities enhance cognitive ability in older adults.","PeriodicalId":520721,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychology, development, and cognition.

Specifically, the positive effect of EF on active coping was more pronounced in middle-aged and older adults than in young adults. However, the negative effect of EF on behavioral disengagement was apparent only in older adults, disappeared in middle-aged adults and reversed in younger adults.

More severe SCD and SMD did not predict change in objectively assessed global cognition, remote memory, and recent memory but predicted lower scores in learning. The prediction of SMD over change in learning was not stronger when individuals reported an SMD that started within the past five years compared to when they reported an SMD that started five or more years previously nor when individuals reported an SMD that started within the past two years than those who did not. Greater depression and anxiety were associated with more severe SCD and SMD.

Here, we explored how neural similarity of activity patterns between relevant and irrelevant stimulus categories impacts memory performance. We found evidence that older adults may benefit from failing to inhibit distractors that are similar to targets, perhaps because sustained neural activation of distractors partially supports maintenance of targets when they share neural resources, allowing for better subsequent recognition of studied target items. We also found increased category-specific multivoxel pattern activity in medial temporal regions in younger compared to older adults as category similarity increased. We propose that this reduced category-specific activation in medial temporal regions in older adults may reflect more blended representations of all the information available in working memory.","PeriodicalId":520721,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychology, development, and cognition.
