Research Interest: Dementia Phenomenology- Clinical phenomenology of dementia concentrating on frontal executive control functions and related clinical phenomena. |
Research Interest: Health Services Research- Concentrating on the cognitive correlates of functional status, forensic capacity, and need for services across diagnostic groups. Also on the ability of qualitative assessment to cost-effectively target dementia subgroups for evaluation. |
Research Interest: Psychometrics- Clinical assessment strategies (e.g. for dementia): Concentrating on the development of bedside measures for the assessment of executive control [The Executive Interview (EXIT25) *Royall 1992, 1995, The Executive Interview Spanish Translation (EXIT-S) *Royall 1995, The Telephone Executive Assessment Scale (TEXAS), CLOX: An Executive Clock Drawing Task *Royall 1995] and qualitative assessment of dementia phenomenology [Qualitative Evaluation of Dementia (QED) *Royall 1992, 1995. |
Research Technical Expertise- Longitudinal data analysis, latent variable models, Structural Equation Models, Growth Curve and Growth Mixture Models, Clinical Trials, neuroimaging studies |

| Grant Detail | The goal of TARCC is to advance research efforts in Texas that lead to better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of AD. To that end, TARCC researchers are aggressively pursuing a number of cutting-edge objectives aimed at improving the efficiency of early diagnosis, understanding the disease mechanisms at work in Alzheimer''s, and uncovering effective disease prevention. TARCC researchers are currently examining the role of biological and clinical markers for inflammation, cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular risk factors, and hyperinsulinemia in the development and progression of AD. These factors are investigated longitudinally and with regard to how they may differ between Mexican American and non-Hispanic European citizens of Texas. |
