Cognitive reserve and memory markers in the dementia continuum
Binding functions assessed by the VSTMBT and the FCSRT are differentially affected by CR. VSTMB is a low-level visual cognition function less influenced by factors underpinning CR. The FCSRT taps into a broader network that involves language, mnemonic, and executive abilities. Future efforts should be directed to exploring versions of these promising tests that can circumvent the influence of CR and thus provide timely and reliable evidence of dementia risk.
