abstract = {Measures of core cognitive processes (fluid abilities) are
highly correlated with measures of knowledge (crystallized
abilities) in healthy adults. In early stages of Alzheimer's
disease (AD), fluid abilities, however, decline more rapidly
than crystallized abilities. We hypothesized that
cognitively normal older adults who evidenced lower fluid
ability compared with crystallized ability (an ability
discrepancy) would show evidence of early AD neuropathology
indexed via in vivo measures of amyloid-beta (Aβ)
deposition and cortical thickness in AD-vulnerable regions.
A sample of older adults (n = 112) aged 65 to 89 underwent a
cognitive battery, structural magnetic resonance imaging,
and a subset (n = 75) also completed positron emission
tomography scanning to measure Aβ deposition using F-18
Florbetapir. Of this sample, 60 older adults (43 with
available positron emission tomography scans) evidenced a
discrepancy where fluid ability was lower than crystallized
ability. The magnitude of the ability discrepancy was
independently associated with a greater Aβ deposition and
thinner cortex in AD-vulnerable regions, as well as age. The
data suggest that such a discrepancy may be a marker of
preclinical AD.},
