    Feasibility of Time Perception Tasks in Adults With Subjective Cognitive Decline and Mild Cognitive Impairment.

    What is this Study about?

    This study aims to evaluate how older adults feel about doing a set of tasks that ask them to estimate the duration of various events and ask them to recall past memories or imagine future scenarios. This includes gathering information about the level of difficulty of the tasks and how manageable the duration of the study was. The data from this study will help design a research protocol for future research aimed at evaluating differences in time perception along the continuum of dementia. Findings may be published in a research journal or presented at research conferences.

    This research aims to explore the perspectives of older adults living with dementia, providing a nuanced understanding of their experiences and challenges. Second, it seeks to investigate the role of physical activities in their lives, examining how engagement in such activities influences their cognitive function and mental well-being. Finally, this research aims to inform interventions and policies that can support older adults in maintaining their cognitive health and overall well-being.
