Potential of cognitive plasticity as a diagnostic instrument: a cross-validation and extension
Article Abstract:
The potential of the testing-the-limits of cognitive reserve capacity method as a psychological diagnostic strategy for the early identification of Alzheimer's disease is evaluated. Findings showed that the method determined more variance in the mental health status of subjects. When the range of cognitive reserve capacity or plasticity is measured using cognitive training, early detection of Alzheimer's disease becomes possible.
