Research summary
This study forms part of a PhD in Cognitive Neuropsychology at the University of Manchester, which looks at the relationship between everyday activity impairment and cognition and well-being in early dementia. This particular study involves routine assessment data from occupational therapists on everyday activity performances. It is intended that this routine data will be statistically analysed to look for associations to (1) carer reports of everyday activity impairments; (2) different forms of cognition (as assessed by the researcher in a separate testing session); (3) and person with dementia (PwD) and carer well-being (as assessed by the researcher through questionnaires). The separate testing session will last a maximum of one hour.
