Clinical and biological disease marker trajectories as a function of distance to clinical diagnosis
Ritchie et al. J Clin Psychiatry 2016
Research review PubMed 15 yrsBrain biomarkers and prospective cohort studies
152 articles; 96 cognitive tests
Significant differences between normal and pre-clinical participants :• divided attention and response inhibition• information processing time• working memory• verbal and non-verbal episodic memory• paired associate learning• visuospatial performance• spatial analysis (allocentric and egocentric)• semantic retrieval• frontal lobe (executive) functioning (inhibition, conceptual shifting,
strategy generation).

Pre-clinical cognitive performance (brain biomarkers and retrospective studies)
FIGURE 1 : Theoretical time-line to AD dementia diagnosis and observations of cognitive change
1) Validated (preferably by reference to longitudinal data) in relation to either preclinical or prodromal populations, Apolipoprotein status or amyloid levels2) Psychometric properties (re-test reliability, normality of score distributions, ceiling and floor effects)3) Cross-cultural suitability4) Availability of alternative forms (or ability to easily create fully alternative versions) 5) Availability of normative data 6) Limited practice effects
Criteria for Test Selection
• Flanker
• Coding – focused attention/ processing speed
RT, Information Processing Speed,Conceptual Shifting, Selective Attention
• Digit Span– auditory registration– Series of digits (2-9) repeated in reverse order
Dot counting – visual organization
Working Memory
• List Learning–rote verbal memory for unrelated information
• Story Memory – memory for conceptually related information
Verbal Episodic Memory
• Figure Copying
• Line orientation
Visuospatial Memory and Performance
• Picture Naming – expressive language– 10 drawings of common objects
• Verbal Fluency – semantic retrieval– Semantic and phonetic prompts
