Executive Functions in Latin American Older Adults: Exploring the Concept Shifting Test and Its Relationship with the APOE Gene in a Cross‐Sectional Sample from the LatAm‐FINGERS Study

Abstract

The Trail Making Test (TMT) has limitations, while the Concept Shifting Test (CST) offers potential advantages but lacks LA adaptation.
