Full Description

This exam focuses on the theoretical mechanisms underlying cognitive decline in older adults, specifically addressing the neurobiological changes that affect memory and executive function.

Understanding cognitive decline is crucial in the context of an aging population, as it directly impacts the quality of life and healthcare needs of individuals experiencing these changes.

The exam will assess the candidate's ability to articulate the neuroanatomical and psychological aspects of cognitive aging, as well as their implications for clinical practice.

Candidates are encouraged to prepare by reviewing current literature on neurodegenerative diseases and their cognitive impairments within geriatric populations.

Sample Questions

  • What are the primary neuroanatomical changes that occur in cognitive aging?
  • How do executive function deficits influence daily living in older adults?
