Table 1.
Risk aversion and temporal discounting as a function of cognitive decline.
Fig 1.
Association of cognitive decline with risk aversion as derived from a non-linear mixed effects model.
The figure depicts the probability of taking the gamble as a function of the gamble gain in dollars. Lower curves on the Y axis indicate more risk aversion. Predicted curves are shown for a typical participant (i.e., female with median age, education, and income) at three different levels of cognitive decline: red indicates fast (highest 10th percentile), blue indicates median, and green indicates slow (lowest 10th percentile) cognitive decline.
Fig 2.
Association of cognitive decline with temporal discounting (small and large stakes) as derived from a non-linear mixed effects model.
The figure depicts the probability of taking future payment rather than a fixed immediate payment as a function of the future payment in dollars. Lower curves on the Y axis indicate more temporal discounting. Predicted curves are shown for a typical participant (i.e., female with median age, education, and income) at three different levels of cognitive decline: red indicates fast (highest 10th percentile), blue indicates median, and low indicates slow (lowest 10th percentile) cognitive decline.
