Abstract:

Abstract Introduction A major challenge for gerontological research is to differentiate adequately between old adults with poor performance on cognitive tasks due to depression , and those who present cognitive impairment associated with dementia . In view of the fact that cognitive plasticity has already proved to be efficient in the diagnosis of age - associated cognitive impairment , mild cognitive impairment and dementia , the objective of this study is to investigate the possibility that it may also prove useful in the differential diagnosis of these two disorders . Materials and methods A total of 50 old adults participated in the study . These completed the Positions Test ( PT ) and the Auditory Verbal Learning Test of Learning Potential ( AVLT - LP ) as measures of cognitive plasticity . Participants also undertook the Spanish version of Mini Mental State ( MEC ) , Life Satisfaction Questionnaire ( LSQ ) and Geriatric Depression Scale ( GDS ) . Socio - demographic data were also collected . Results With regard to cognitive plasticity , depressed old adults do not differ from those without depression . On the other hand , old adults with cognitive impairment present less cognitive plasticity than those without cognitive impairment . Conclusion Cognitive plasticity appears to be a relevant variable in the differentiation between old people with low cognitive performance due to depression and old people with cognitive impairment .
