Jewett, Laura M.; Williams, Zulema – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2018
This paper explores and performs the ways daughters make meaning of the lived curriculum of their experience of their mothers' dementia. U.S. daughters disproportionally carry the burden of caring for mothers with dementia (Bath, 2017). Rabin (2017) writes, "As Washington debates the relative merits of health care legislation, many families…

Rogers, Jack T.; Cahill, Catherine M. – Learning & Memory, 2020
A set of common-acting iron-responsive 5'untranslated region (5'UTR) motifs can fold into RNA stem loops that appear significant to the biology of cognitive declines of Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD), Lewy body dementia (LDD), and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Neurodegenerative diseases exhibit perturbations of iron homeostasis in defined brain…

Arvio, Maria; Bjelogrlic-Laakso, Nina – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2021
Background: In intellectual disability, the cognitive delay is observed during developmental age, whereas in dementia, cognitive decline occurs during post-developmental period. So far, the risk of dementia in people with intellectual disability, excluding those with Down syndrome, is poorly known. Method: We screened dementia signs in a study…

Brianna Piro-Gambetti; Emily K. Schworer; Benjamin Handen; Masha Glukhovskaya; Sigan L. Hartley – Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2024
Adults with Down syndrome (DS) experience high risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but there is variability in the timing of transition from a cognitively stable state to prodromal AD and dementia. The present study examined the association between a modifiable lifestyle factor, employment complexity, and cognitive decline across two time points in…

Innes, Anthea; Morris, Lydia; Wyatt, Megan; McEvoy, Phil – Educational Gerontology, 2022
Family caregivers of people with dementia can find the impairments in their relative's ability to communicate an enormous challenge. Peer facilitated educational interventions are a potentially efficient and effective way to address these complex communication issues. This paper examines the processes required to support the development of peer…

Handen, Benjamin L. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Adults with Down syndrome are at high risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD), with most individuals developing clinical dementia by their late 60s. This increased risk for AD has been attributed, at least in part, to triplication and overexpression of the gene for amyloid precursor protein (APP) on chromosome 21, leading to elevated levels of amyloid…

Quinn, Jocey; Blandon, Claudia – Palgrave Studies in Adult Education and Lifelong Learning, 2020
In this chapter we use the posthumanist perspective introduced in Chapter 2 to work with a range of 'data events' from the "Beyond Words" study involving post-verbal people with dementia and their close networks. We discuss and critique the primacy of 'voice' in lifelong learning, where it has been highly privileged. Instead, our…

M.; Strother, Stephen; Sunderland, Kelly M.; Symons, Sean; Swartz, Richard – Topics in Language Disorders, 2021
Purpose: Dementia due to cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is common. Detecting early cognitive decline in CVD is critical because addressing risk factors may slow or prevent dementia. This study used a multidomain discourse analysis approach to determine the spoken language signature of CVD-related cognitive impairment. Method: Spoken language and…
