Summary

In this study, we develop and validate the " Cognitive Load of Activity Participation Scale" (CLAPs) to measure the frequency and the perceived levels of cognitive load of the elderly participating in various cognitive activities and as a reference for intervention and behavioral Indicators for lifestyle modifications to preventing and delaying dementia.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study in the first year is to develop the first version of the CLAPs by literature review, focus group discussion, expert validity, etc., to collect the typical participation in daily and housework activities, social leisure and entertainment, work and learning activities of the elderly. And we also evaluate the level of cognitive load of subjective feelings when individuals participate in activities. In the second year, the aim is to complete the final version of the CLAPs, which is expected to collect 300 subjects in the first version. According to the results, we analyze and select the items and verify the psychometric characteristics, including test-retest reliability and construct validity (factor analysis and convergent validity). In the third year, we will recruit 150 people over 65 with different cognitive levels, including subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, and mild dementia, to validate the discriminant validity. The CLAPs will provide an understanding of the cognitive activity profile of the person and as a guide for interventions and an outcome measure.
