   Proposal Description:
   Previous research has identified different pre-clinical cognitive phenotypes associated with dementia. The project will use factor analysis, latent class analysis, and mixed-modeling to reconfirm the different cognitive phenotypes and examine how they vary across different demographic variables to increase      understanding of the cross-cultural differences in pre-clinical, MCI, and  dementia samples. The goal of the project is to utilize the neuropsychological and neuropathological data available to further the understanding of risk factors and predictors of functioning across different levels of cognitive functioning and impairment between diverse groups of individuals.
