Description
Elizabeth Anquillare and co-authors report a small pilot study from 2024 on how older adults who use cannabis judge their own thinking. The group had seventeen people aged sixty to seventy-nine. Each person filled in forms about their memory, focus, and planning, and then took short tests of the same skills online.
The team compared the self-ratings with test scores in each area. Weak scores on tasks that call for switching and holding back a response went with self-ratings across all three areas. Scores for memory and focus showed a weaker pattern in the same direction. The authors say these adults tend to describe their thinking in broad terms. They urge care staff to ask more pointed questions.
