New Insights in Cognitive Aging and Mild Cognitive Impairment

Dear Colleagues,

Cognitive aging is one of the greatest challenges people face during the aging process. Cognitive deterioration is considered normal in the aging process to some degree; however, clinical manifestations of cognitive impairment, such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), may affect functional ability and thus require attention.

The aim of this Special Issue, “New Insights in Cognitive Aging and Mild Cognitive Impairment”, is to explore cognition among older adults, from its conceptualization and measurement to longitudinal analysis and recently developed intervention strategies.

We welcome contributions that incorporate a multidisciplinary approach and embed cognition within the broader context of aging. Likewise, scientific contributions focusing on the particularities of cognitive ability measurement in late adulthood and differences among distinct measurement approaches are also welcomed.

We encourage researchers, clinicians, and professionals across disciplines—such as psychology, medicine, nursing, neuroscience, gerontology, and public health—to contribute to this Special Issue. By contributing, scholars will not only advance academic knowledge on cognitive aging and MCI but also help shape practical approaches to diagnosis, prevention, and intervention.

We look forward to your valuable contributions and to collectively advancing research and clinical practice in the field of cognitive aging.
