Assessing a Sensory-Motor-Cognition Triad in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment With Dichotic Listening While Walking: A Dual-Task Paradigm
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-12)A contemporary topic in aging research relates to the significance of cognitive changes proper to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to higher risk of falls and gait deteriorations. The present study addresses this question in the amnestic type of MCI (aMCI) by examining a triad of interrelated comorbidities occurring in the MCI condition: attentional impairments, hearing loss and gait disturbances. ... -

Dichotic listening while walking: A dual-task paradigm examining gait asymmetries in healthy older and younger adults
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-08)Dual-task studies have employed various cognitive tasks to evaluate the relationship between gait and cognition. Most of these tests are not specific to a single cognitive ability or sensory modality and have limited ecological validity. In this study, we employed a dual-task paradigm using Dichotic Listening (DL) as concomitant cognitive task to walking. We argue that DL is a robust task to unravel ... -
Effects of dichotic listening on gait domains of healthy older adults during dual-tasking: An exploratory observational study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-28)<i>Background</i> - Identification of the cognitive mechanisms behind gait changes in aging is a prime endeavor in gerontology and geriatrics. For this reason, we have implemented a new dual-task paradigm where an auditory attentional task is performed during over-ground walking. Dichotic listening assesses spontaneous attention and voluntary attention directed to right and left-ear. The uniqueness ... -

The impact of age-related hearing loss and lateralized auditory attention on spatiotemporal parameters of gait during dual-tasking among community dwelling older adults
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-27)This investigation assessed the impact of hearing loss and lateralized auditory attention on spatiotemporal parameters of gait during overground dual-tasking by the use of the dichotic listening task. Seventy-eight right-handed, healthy older adults between 60 and 88 years were assigned to a Young-Old (<70 years) or an Old-Old (>71 years) group. Cognitive assessment and pure tone audiometry were ... -
Manual dexterity in young and healthy older adults. 1. Age- and gender-related differences in unimanual and bimanual performance
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018-03-12)This study aimed to better characterize age‐related differences in dexterity by using an integrative approach where movement times and kinematics were measured for both hands. Forty‐five young (age 19–31) and 55 healthy older adults (age 60–88) were evaluated during unimanual and bimanual performance of the Purdue Pegboard Test. Gender effects were also assessed. From video‐recorded data, movement ... -
Manual dexterity in young and healthy older adults. 2. Association with cognitive abilities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-02)Currently, little is known about the cognitive constraints underlying manual dexterity decline in aging. Here, we assessed the relationship between cognitive function and dexterity in 45 young and 55 healthy older adults. Effects of gender on the cognition‐dexterity association were also explored. Cognitive assessment comprised neuropsychological tests of executive function, working memory, attention, ... -

A novel dual-task paradigm for evaluating the interplay between gait, cognition, and hearing loss in normal aging and MCI: Effects of Dichotic Listening during overground walking
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-05-12)The association between gait and cognition in aging has been widely studied with the help of dual-task paradigms consisting of walking while simultaneously performing a cognitive task. However, previous dual-task research has lacked consistency in methods. In this doctoral work, we introduced a novel dual-task paradigm including Dichotic Listening (DL) performed concomitantly with walking overground. ... -
Om ansvar og å hjelpe seg selv
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2014)Som de sosiale dyrene vi er, søker vi råd hos våre medmennesker når vi har behov for hjelp og veiledning. Noen velger å gå til psykolog. Andre rådfører seg med sin(e) gode venn(er) for anerkjennelse og støtte. Andre går til prest for innspill. Noen velger å ikke gå til noen. Alt kan funke. -

Reduction in manual asymmetry and decline in fine manual dexterity in right-handed older adults with mild cognitive impairment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-16)Research in Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease suggests that hand function is affected by neurodegenerative diseases. However, little is known about the relationship between hand function and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Therefore, we conducted a kinematic analysis of unimanual hand movements in MCI patients to answer whether manual asymmetries and manual dexterity are affected or preserved ... -

What does hand motor function tell us about our aging brain in association with WMH?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-29)<i>Background</i> - White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are a common cerebral finding in older people. WMH are usually asymptomatic, but excessive WMH are associated with cognitive decline and dementia. WMH are also among the neurological findings most consistently associated with declining motor performance in healthy ageing.<br><br> <i>Aims</i> - To determine if WMH load is associated with ... -
White matter correlates of gait perturbations resulting from spontaneous and lateralized attention in healthy older adults: A dual-task study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-18)To date the neural mechanisms behind gait perturbations caused by dual-task paradigms are still unknown. Therefore, the present study examined white matter correlates of gait perturbations caused by a dichotic listening task where spontaneous (free focus of attention) and lateralized attentional control (voluntary attention directed to right or left-ear) were tested. Fifty-nine right-handed, healthy ...
