Exploring the sensitivity of episodic and spatial memory tests to healthy and pathological cognitive aging
We conclude that the 4MT and SSEVT may be suitable for assessing lifestyle choices and interventions affecting cognitive ageing. We also propose that these findings provide an initial proof-of-concept for these tests' ability to detect pathological aging in its early stages and support further exploration of this with larger clinical samples.
