Abstract

This article examines the use of executive strategies measured by the Five Point Test in everyday problem-solving abilities among healthy older adults (HOA), individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and those with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The study found that the use of a rotational strategy—creating new designs by rotating previous spatial configurations—predicted better everyday problem-solving performance in the MCI group, while such prediction was not observed in HOA or AD groups. Overall, the rotational strategy was more effectively executed across all groups, but individuals with AD showed limited strategy use. These findings suggest that people with subtle cognitive deficits may adopt specific strategies to improve real-life problem-solving.
