Background and Biography:
Audrey H. Gutherie, Ph.D. is an Associate Investigator (AI) in the Rehabilitation Research Development Center at the Atlanta VA Medical Center. Dr. Gutherie earned her doctorate in Cognitive/Experimental Psychology from the University of Georgia. Her main research interests are vision science and cognitive and sensory aging. Dr. Gutherie is currently investigating the impact of subtle alterations in the visual-perceptual integrity of target stimuli (i.e., via manipulations of contrast and spatial frequency) on naming accuracy and latency in individuals with Alzheimer Disease (AD) compared to individuals at risk for developing the disease (i.e., patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment) and neurologically normal controls. The long-term trajectory of this project is to develop an object naming test for the detection of incipient AD.
