Cognitive Change in Healthy Ageing: Study data set 2

Anonymous data for experimental work to pilot a measure of cognitive change in ageing and gather data about cognitive problems experienced by typically-ageing adults, as part of exploratory work towards producing a diagnostic product for older adults experiencing cognitive change. Data were gathered through an online behavioural task platform (Gorilla) using cognitive tasks and standardised questionnaires (PHQ9, GAI, ESS, NAVQ, GPAQ) plus some non-standardised questions about the impact of perceived cognitive change. In this second experiment, we also collected information about diabetes status alongside ageing data, as this was anticipated to potentially impact on cognitive ageing in an interaction with age. Data files are included for all components.
