Cognitive function and gait speed under normal and dual-task walking among older adults with mild cognitive impairment.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Decision-making is an essential function of everyday life. Decision-making under explicit risk requires developing advantageous decision strategies based on fixed outcomes (e.g., probabilities of winning or losing a bet). Decision-making and its neural substrates have been rarely studied in MS. We expected p...
