Older Adults with Subjective Cognitive Decline by Sarah Fraser & Talia Salzman

Sarah Fraser is an assistant professor in the Interdisciplinary School of Health Sciences. She obtained her doctorate from Concordia University (Psychology department) for her thesis on the role of executive functions in aging and fine motor control. Professor Fraser held a Postdoctoral Fellowship (Fonds de recherche nature et technologies) at the Centre de recherche de l'Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal, l’UQAM, and the Montreal Heart Institute (le Centre ÉPIC). During this fellowship she explored the cerebral activity of older adults while walking and thinking (dual-tasking) and physical and cognitive interventions that could improve the ability to manage two tasks simultaneously. She has since obtained a CIHR grant (with Bherer, Lesage, & Nigam) to explore longitudinal changes in cerebral activity in older adults when they are dual tasking. Her second Fellowship was funded by the ministère de la famille et des aînés, and her research was conducted at McGill University and the MAB-Mackay Rehabilitation Center. Using qualitative methods she examined the rehabilitation barriers of older adults with dual sensory loss. Talia Salzman is a PhD candidate in the School of Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa. Presentation in English followed by a bilingual question period.
