Experience revealed that multiple cognitive domains frequently were impaired in MCI (Grundman M et al, Arch Neurol 2004;61:59-66)
MCI criteria thus were broadened in 2004 to include multiple domain MCI, leaving only “essentially normal functional activities” to distinguish from dementia

How to detect and manage drug side effects for non-clinicians…• Be aware of reports from patient or family that note
associations with drugs
• Sedation, confusion, slowed response time, impaired attention, dizziness could be due to medications
• Drinking alcohol with any psychotropic medication may cause problems
• If you suspect side effects from medications, recommend your client discuss their drugs with their PCP/Pharmacits/RoadWiseRXSources: Srikanth S, et al. J Neurol Sci. 2005;236:43-48.

Objective
2. To develop a broader perspective and knowledge base related to cognition and driving
Executive function (e.g., impaired function, attention, organizing, planning)
Language (e.g., naming deficits/word finding deficits, aphasia)
Visuospatial /perceptual skills (e.g., not perceiving shapes or distance accurately)
DepartmentDivision
Dementia and Driving
• 88% of drivers with very mild dementia and 69% of drivers with mild dementia were still able to pass a formal on-road evaluation.
• The median time to cessation of driving in very mild dementia was 2 years from the time of the evaluation and in mild dementia it was 1 year
(Duchek et al., 2003; Ott et al., 2008).
DepartmentDivision
• Recent studies have indicated that tests of executive function and visual attention predict driving abilities in adults with early cognitive decline
(Dawson, Anderson, Uc, Dastrup, & Rizzo, 2009; Ott, et al., 2008; Whelihan, DiCarlo, & Paul, 2005)
DepartmentDivision
Attention
• Attention is an essential part of memory and information processing. Attention is related to many other cognitive functions.
• Consistently, researchers found that low scores on measures of attention were correlated with crash risk (Anstey, Wood, Lord, &
Walker, 2005).

DepartmentDivision
Type of Attention Difficulty
Example of Affected Driving Behaviors
Selective attention Visual: Difficulty selectively attending to a road sign while ignoring other distracters in the environment
Auditory: Difficulty selectively attending to a siren coming from behind due to attending to the music on the radio
Sustained attention
Difficulty sustaining attention for a prolonged period of time while driving on the highway
Alternating attention
Difficulty preparing for a lane change when alternating attention from glancing back and forth while looking in the side mirror and back to monitoring traffic conditions in the front of the car
Divided attention Difficulty maintaining safe control of the car while holding a conversation with a passenger at the same timeDifficulty maintaining safe control of the car while simultaneously attending to weather, road, and traffic conditions
Neglect Inaccurate lane positioning by not attending to the (affected) side of the road completelyLack of attending to a vehicle or pedestrian on the affected side while driving

Memory Loss in Dementia
Memory Loss in Dementia is known as a main symptomCommon statements:• ”I can’t remember where I was going”• “ I can’t remember what I did earlier in the day”• “ I can’t remember how to get home from the grocery
store”
Memory Loss – In advancing dementia• “I can’t remember do I put my foot on the gas or brake
when I shift into reverse”• “What does the sign mean with the people on it?”
DepartmentDivision
Type of Memory Difficulty
Example of Affected Driving Behaviors
Short-term memory
Difficulty immediately remembering instructions on the driving assessment regarding which way to turn.
Working memory Difficulty if they miss a turn (turning around and going back). To do this, the individual must hold the original directions in their memory while “working” on the alteration.
Episodic memory Difficulty remembering where he or she parked the car after going grocery shopping
Difficulty remembering how to go to a familiar location (e.g., grocery store)
Difficulty remembering what type or year of car the individual owns or if he or she has had any recent accidents
Semantic memory Difficulty remembering what common traffic signs mean (e.g., yield sign, stop sign, railroad crossing) and common rules of the road.
Procedural memory
Difficulty remembering how procedurally to turn the key to start a car, to put the car in gear, or to apply pressure to the correct pedal to stop or start the car
Prospective memory
Difficulty remembering to follow through with the “intention” of putting gas in the car or doing routine car maintenance
Barco, P.P., Stav, W. B., Arnold, R., & Carr, D. (2012). Cognition and Community Mobility. In M. J. McGuire & E. Schold Davis (Eds.). AOTA Self-paced clinical course: Driving and community mobility. Bethesda, MD: AOTA.
DepartmentDivision
Executive Function
• Executive functions provide control over information processing and are a key determinant of driver strategies, tactics, and safety (Rizzo & Kellison, 2010).
• Many cognitive assessments that have been shown to have some value in predicting driving abilities are geared toward executive function (Anstey, et al., 2005).
• Executive function skills are most challenged in novel situations
DepartmentDivision
Executive Function Difficulties
Example of Affected Driving Behaviors
Initiation Difficulty initiating moving the foot to the gas at the appropriate speed when a traffic light turns from red to green
Problem solving and decision making
Difficulty problem solving how to get out of a parking lot or garageDifficulty problem solving what to do if they cannot get over in a turn laneDifficulty problem solving what to do when sirens come from behind
Planning, sequencing, and anticipating
Difficulty anticipating that another vehicle may turn in front of him or herDifficulty planning for a lane change Difficulty anticipating the need to brake as other traffic ahead is slowing down or stopped
Flexibility in thinking and generation of alternatives
Difficulty thinking of what to do if miss a turn – where to turn around.Difficulty considering options of what to do if the car breaks down in traffic or where to get gas if outside of the ordinary route
Impulsivity Impulsively making a lane change without checking for other vehicles
Barco, P.P., Stav, W. B., Arnold, R., & Carr, D. (2012). Cognition and Community Mobility. In M. J. McGuire & E. Schold Davis (Eds.). AOTA Self-paced clinical course: Driving and community mobility. Bethesda, MD: AOTA.

Visual Spatial and Visual Perceptual
• Visual perceptual tests show moderate to high associations with driving outcome measures (De raedt & Ponjaert-Kristofferson as cited in Anstey, et al, 2005)
• Visual perception and processing skills are needed to read road signs, judge distance and recognize/react to pedestrians and other vehicles (Baker, 2006)
DepartmentDivision
Speed of Processing
• Slow processing can interrupt processes of working memory and being able to store information in a way that it can be easy to retrieve. (Levy, 2005)
• Speed of processing also influences the rate at which an individual can produce a motor or verbal response to a given stimulus (Bryer, Rapport, & Hanks, 2006).
DepartmentDivision
Type of Visual Spatial/Perceptual/Processing Deficit
Example of Affected Driving Behaviors
Depth perception or spatial relations
Difficulty accurately judging or perceiving gap distance when making a lane change
Difficulty perceiving travel distance between cars or necessary stopping distance
Difficulty perceiving the position of the car in a parking space, resulting in ineffective parking
Topographical orientation
Can become disoriented or confused in even a common parking lot or when driving a familiar route
Visual Processing Speed
Person may be looking at the surroundings (traffic light, pedestrians, car in front of them) and take longer to process the incoming information to react (e.g. put on the brake)
Person may be scanning the environment for where to turn and not process the sign quicker enough to make a turn.

Likelihood Ratios
• LR+ is simply the % of “sick” people with a given test divided by the % of “well” people with same result• Ex: LR+ = Sens/(1-Spec): LR+ 2-5 small, 5-10 moderate,
>10 large • Ex LR- =(1-Sens)/Spec: LR- .2-.5 small, .1-.2 moderate, <
.1 large • LR’s are useful across a wide range of frequencies
• Predictive values of tests are driven by the prevalence of dx• Uses all four cells of the 2x2 table• Can apply to a specific patient• LR’s are ratios of probabilities• 95% confidence intervals can calculate the precision of the
estimate.
