Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease Publishes Research Co-authored by Ginsberg and Alldred
A collaborative team of researchers spanning 10 institutions nationwide, including Drs. Stephen Ginsberg and Melissa Alldred from the CDR, reported on an episodic memory performance-based criteria capable of distinguishing superior cognitive function from typical cognitive function in individuals aged 80 and beyond. Published in the April 20 issue of the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease under the heading “Psychometric criteria for superior cognitive performance in very old adults,” suggests that their proposed criteria for Superior Cognitive Performance (SCP) can help identify neurobiological mechanisms of successful cognitive aging.
