Description
Mario A Parra-Rodriguez and co-authors report a 2025 conference abstract on two memory tests in southern Colombia. Standard tests often miss the earliest stage of Alzheimer's disease, above all in poorer communities. The team tried two newer tests, one on binding features in memory and one on cued recall, in local older adults.
The study enrolled 390 volunteers, of whom 248 had mild cognitive impairment and 142 were healthy. Both tests separated the groups. The binding test showed that impaired patients lost far more when features had to be held together than when held apart. The work supports using both tests for early screening in such settings.
