Sensory-cognitive interactions in older adults

Open access

Abstract

The objective of this study was regarding sensory and cognitive interactions in older adults published since 2009, the approximate date of the most recent reviews on this topic. After an electronic database search of articles published in English since 2009 on measures of hearing and cognition or vision and cognition in older adults, a total of 437 articles were identified. Screening by title and abstract for appropriateness of topic and for articles presenting original research in peer-reviewed journals reduced the final number of articles reviewed to 34. These articles were qualitatively evaluated and synthesized with the existing knowledge base. Additional evidence has been obtained since 2009 associating declines in vision, hearing, or both with declines in cognition among older adults. The observed sensory–cognitive associations are generally stronger when more than one sensory domain is measured and when the sensory measures involve more than simple threshold sensitivity. Evidence continues to accumulate supporting a link between decline in sensory function and cognitive decline in older adults.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The brain processes the stimuli received by all parts of the body and creates thoughts and beliefs that influence perception and behaviour.

    “The brain processes the stimuli received by all parts of the body and creates thoughts and beliefs that influence perception and behaviour [50].”

    From Inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility in the built environment: A study of architectural design practice (2021) · cites this paper as [50]

    The Introduction discusses interactions between the senses and cognition, and the Results and Discussion section reports an association between sensory processing and cognitive performance in middle-aged and older adults (page numbers unavailable). The paper does not say that the brain turns stimuli from all parts of the body into thoughts and beliefs that influence perception and behaviour. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
