Description
Barbara Poletti leads a large team in a 2023 study of counterfactual thinking in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a disease that weakens muscles over time. Counterfactual thinking is the mind's what-if work: picturing how a past event might have gone in a new way.
More than one hundred patients without dementia took two such tasks, summed into one index. They also had deep tests of thinking, behavior, and motor function. Healthy controls took the tasks too. The team asks what motor and non-motor traits track with this skill, and if the index can set patients apart from controls.
