A brain region affected very early in Alzheimer’s disease may explain why some aging people are at greater risk of financial exploitation. That is the key finding of our new study, published in the journal Cerebral Cortex.
We are a clinical psychology doctoral student and a clinical neuropsychologist, and we are interested in understanding whether greater likelihood of being financially exploited – such as being the victim of a scam – may be a behavioral indicator of future cognitive decline.
