Measures of Everyday Functioning in a Smart Environment: Direct Observation and Data Mining Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
The assessment of everyday functioning has become a topic of interest in aging research. Studies have investigated the importance of assessing and understanding decline in older adults’ ability to carry out tasks of daily living and its relation to cognitive functioning. Some studies have suggested that assessment of everyday functioning may be one of the most ecologically valid ways to measure cognitive decline as it applies to independent functioning in the home. However, “real world” scenarios for assessment of everyday functioning are not commonly used by neuropsychologists, and instead clinicians rely on paper and pencilbased tests, questionnaires, and self-report information to determine impairment in tasks of daily living.
