Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how accurately participants placed digits on a digital clock as a way to measure mental planning, looking specifically at its ties to cognitive functions like attention and reasoning.
- It included 201 non-demented older adults, with a subgroup of 28 who had mild cognitive impairment (MCI), to compare digit misplacement accuracy and brain connectivity.
- Results indicated that greater digit misplacement was linked to poorer performance in semantics and visuospatial tasks, and individuals with MCI showed more misplacement and less connectivity between a key brain area and the anterior cingulate cortex.
