PROJECT SUMMARY ABSTRACT The rapid increase in the older segment of the population has stimulated intense scientific interest in normal and pathological cognitive functioning in older adults. The increasing prevalence with advancing age of debilitating diseases like Alzheimer's disease has led to a need for clinical and research methods for measurement of effects of these diseases, and cognitive tests play a major role in detecting, diagnosing and monitoring disease status and progression. Increasing demographic diversity creates special challenges for accurate measurement of cognition. Most cognitive tests that are in clinical and research use were developed using psychometric methods from the first half of the 20th century. There have been substantial advances in measurement theory and methodology, notably item response theory (IRT) and associated latent variable modeling methods, that could have an important impact on the measurement of cognition. There have been parallel advances in statistical methodology for modeling longitudinal cognitive trajectories and identifying variables that positively and negatively impact these important outcomes. This conference series is designed to promote the application of modern psychometric and statistical methods in research on cognitive aging. Specific goals are: 1) to expose developing and established researchers in cognitive aging to modern psychometric and statistical modeling techniques, 2) to expose experts in psychometric theory and statistics to the practical and theoretical concerns of cognitive aging research, and 3) encourage collaborations of researchers, psychometricians, and statisticians during these conferences. We have conducted nine successful annual conferences since initial funding of this grant in 2008 and have a 10th planned for September, 2017. This series has generated 59 collaborative publications to date. This experience has helped to shape our plans for the next generation of conferences. The format of the conferences will include didactic presentations by experts in cognitive aging and applied psychometric theory, demonstrations of psychometric and statistical analytic methods, and most importantly, hands-on experience using real data. This content and format is not only appropriate for encouraging education and collaboration of seasoned researchers but has also been an extremely effective learning environment for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty. Conference themes for the proposed five-year renewal period are: 1) Cognitive aging in demographically diverse populations, 2), Harmonization, linking and equating cognitive measurements, 3) Missing data, selection, and quantitative bias analysis, 4) Cognitive reserve/resilience, and 5) Hierarchical Bayesian item response theory modeling to address challenges in longitudinal data. There will be a heavy emphasis on workgroups organized around scientific analyses of real data, and we plan to disseminate the information resulting from these workshops in both traditional academic outlets (e.g. submission of manuscripts for peer reviewed scientific journals) and through symposia at annual scientific conferences.

项目摘要摘要 较老的人口群的迅速增加激发了正常的强烈科学兴趣 和老年人的病理认知功能。随着年龄的增长而增加的患病率 诸如阿尔茨海默氏病这样的使人衰弱的疾病导致需要临床和研究方法 这些疾病影响的测量和认知测试在检测，诊断和 监测疾病状况和进展。人口多样性的增加为 准确测量认知。开发了大多数临床和研究用途的认知测试 使用20世纪上半叶的心理测量方法。在 测量理论和方法论，特别是项目响应理论（IRT）和相关的潜在变量 建模方法，可能会对认知的测量产生重要影响。有 统计方法的并行进步，用于建模纵向认知轨迹和识别 积极和负面影响这些重要结果的变量。该会议系列是设计的 促进现代心理测量和统计方法在认知衰老研究中的应用。 具体目标是：1）将认知衰老的发展和既定研究人员暴露给现代 心理测量和统计建模技术，2）将心理测量理论和统计学专家暴露于 认知衰老研究的实际和理论问题，以及3）鼓励合作 在这些会议期间，研究人员，心理医生和统计学家。我们已经进行了九个 自2008年这笔赠款的初始资金以来，成功的年度会议成功，并计划了第十个 2017年9月。迄今为止，该系列已经生成了59个合作出版物。这种经验有所帮助 塑造我们为下一代会议的计划。会议的格式将包括教学 认知衰老和应用心理计量学理论专家的演讲，心理测量的演示 和统计分析方法，以及最重要的是使用实际数据的动手经验。这个内容和 格式不仅适合鼓励经验丰富的研究人员的教育和协作 对于研究生，博士后研究员和初中的学习环境也是一个非常有效的学习环境 学院。拟议的五年续签期的会议主题是：1）认知老化 人口统计学多样化的人群，2），协调，链接和等同认知测量值，3） 缺少数据，选择和定量偏差分析，4）认知储备/弹性，5）等级制度 贝叶斯项目响应理论建模，以应对纵向数据中的挑战。会有一个沉重的 强调围绕真实数据的科学分析组织的工作组，我们计划传播 这些讲习班在两个传统学术渠道中产生的信息（例如，手稿的提交 对于同行评审的科学期刊）和通过年度科学会议上的研讨会。
