Investigating the Multidimensional Structure of Apathy in Cognitive Decline: An Exploratory Network Analysis of the Apathy Evaluation Scale
EGA provided a clearer understanding of apathy by identifying specific, clinically relevant, and objective dimensions that differ in disease progression. This precise characterization facilitates targeted and timely interventions and has the potential to initiate the development of new test batteries fully validated through network methods, allowing more complex analysis of apathy symptoms.
