Assessing individual differences in cognitive change over time

Assessing the trajectory of cognitive change over time is of utmost importance in the pursuit of understanding cognitive ageing and dementia. In this study we assess datasets with detailed longitudinal cognitive records.

Participants in cohort studies may take a range of different tests, such as this one on an iPad.

In this study we assess individual differences in cognitive change over time using different measures of cognition across cognitive-rich DPUK cohorts with three or more longitudinal waves of data. We will first assess different cognitive tasks as cognitive performance indicators of individual cognitive change and second understand the other associated indicators of cognitive change using latent change score modelling.

 

DPUK cohorts used

  • ELSA
  • Whitehall
