Brain activation during visual working memory correlates with behavioral mobility performance in older adults

Brain activation during visual working memory correlates with behavioral mobility performance in older adults

Functional mobility and cognitive function often decline with age. We previously found that functional mobility as measured by the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) was associated with cognitive performance for visually-encoded (i.e. for location and face) working memory (WM) in older adults. This suggests...
