Abstract
When working with people who have communication impairments, there are not enough cognitive assessment tools to discern between baseline neural function, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). While there are some available measures, we would like to expand the repertoire and ensure that they hold up against test/re-test principles, including accurate tracking over time because these diseases are progressive. This study proposes to expand these tools of studying neuronal activity, looking at tasks linguistically and with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to explore what brain regions are used during human discourse.
