2. 1. Timed Up-and-Go Dual-Task Tests for Early Detection of Dementia Disorder

   Author : Hanna Bozkurt Åhman; Anna Cristina Åberg; Martin Ingelsson; Erik Rosendahl; Jorunn Helbostad; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dual-task; dementia; mild cognitive impairment; subjective cognitive impairment; Geriatrics; Geriatrik;

   Abstract : Dementia constitutes an important and growing public health concern. There is a need for new, simple, and inexpensive methods to detect dementia disorders early in the disease progression. For this purpose, dual-tasking, i.e. READ MORE

4. 2. Functional neuroimaging of dual task interference and divided attention

   Author : Priyantha Herath; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : It is known that human subjects cannot perform two reaction time (RT) tasks as efficiently as they would perform the constituent tasks individually. Increments of reaction times or error rates that occur when two RT tasks are performed nearly simultaneously is known as interference. READ MORE

5. 3. A population-based study on neuropsychological and morphological signs of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

   Author : Otto Lilja-Lund; Lars Nyberg; Martin Maripuu; Katarina Laurell; Magnus Tisell; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; cognition; dual-task; ageing; temporal horns; morphology; memory; executive function; Neurology; neurologi;

   Abstract : BACKGROUND: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is typically manifested in people over 65 years. The condition of gait disturbances, incontinence, and cognitive dysfunction can be reversed in up to 80% of the cases by ventricular shunting. READ MORE

6. 4. Physical Activity and Alzheimer's Disease : Measurements, Observations and Subjective Experiences

   Author : Ylva Cedervall; Anna Cristina Åberg; Lars Lannfelt; Lena Kilander; Per-Olof Sandman; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Caregiver; continuity theory; dementia; dual-task; gait analysis; in-depth interview; mixed methods research; participant observation; physical capacity; qualitative; selfhood; walking; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi; Geriatrics; Geriatrik;

   Abstract : Gait disturbances such as slow walking speed and step-to-step variability have been reported among people with mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and as risk factors for functional decline, dependency, and falls. Additionally, AD-related emotional reactions and decreased initiative can lead to physical inactivity. READ MORE

7. 5. Experimental studies of human-computer interaction : working memory and mental workload in complex cognition

   Author : Erik Wästlund; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Information processing; Problem-solving; Working memory; ST-WM; LT-WM; Dual-task; Mental workload; Reading; Page layout; VDT; Convergent; Divergent; Psykologi; Psychology; Information processing; Problem-solving; Working memory; ST-WM; LT-WM;

   Abstract : Complex cognition is readily described as cognitive tasks requiring the coordination of multiple steps of processing or tasks exceeding short term memory capacity. Similarly, mental workload may be described as the use and temporary expenditure of a finite amount of information processing capacity. READ MORE
