The latest research was presented in a well organized manner. There was a lot of information given to process and study.

A continued deep dive into other factors that might lead to an MCI diagnosis (diabetes, hypertension and obesity). This instructor continuously emphasized the difference that speech therapy rehab can have for a person, starting with the first session of assessment. Liked the continuing review of Parts 1 and 2, as this was a technical presentation focusing on the research in MCI.

I thought the final part about assessing reaction times, cognitive flexibility, working memory, ability to switch attention and visual-spacial skills to distinguish MCI from healthy aging was particularly interesting. I also appreciated the information about diabetes and how it places us at risk for MCI and dementia, both in terms of long term chronic "brain assault" and in terms of hypoglycemic "hits".

Cortical changes and early intervention/therapies, MCI subtypes, studies show a 95% accuracy in MCI DX when memory + executive function tests are used, new research on TMS, distinguishing MCI from Health Aged using testing domains. Excellent presentation. Thank you.

I thought the lecturer provided robust evidence from the research and tied the research to the practice. I do wish there was more time spent on treatment approaches for the different subtypes of MCI. I do feel the overview at the beginning of part 2 and part 3 was not necessary as that information was given in part 1 and that would have left more time for treatment.

I was skeptical of the research, based on the cited references. My Ph.D. was through a neuroscience program. As such, it appeared that the presentation was not appropriate for most SLPs whose ASHA sanctioned cousework does not include biochemistry, neurobiology, physiology, or pharmacology. There were 23 references to executive function and association to selected SLP outcomes (if true). There were too many references to "the research shows..." Neuroscience is a way of thinking, not a title.

Part 3 put all the pieces of the characteristics and treatment of MCI together. I liked how the presenter discussed the positive aspects of research and upcoming technology to give the audience a hopeful approach to MCI treatment. As a person with loved ones with MCI and Diabetes I have come away with lots of food for thought as to what I can do to help in their journey.
by

This was very informative, but I was most interested to hear about treatment in Part 3. However, Part 3 only briefly discussed treatment with no specific avenues. I propose a more accurate title for the full series as "Mild Cognitive Impairment: Characteristics and Evaluation Considerations".
