In order to diagnose and assess the progression of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD), clinicians make use of recognition and free recall memory tasks familiar to any experimental psychologist. However, the analysis of data from such tasks in clinical settings often resorts to the use of ad hoc summaries, such as using only the number of correctly recognized words to characterize performance on a recognition memory task. Decades of work in experimental psychology has not only showed that such ad hoc characterizations of memory data are typically inadequate, it has resulted in myriad of formal models describing the cognitive processes that produce such data that clinicians could use instead of their ad hoc summaries. However, experimental psychologists have typically worked hard to eliminate many of the "quirks" observed in clinical data, such as the presence of vast individual differences; thus, it is unclear how their memory models will work when taken outside of the laboratory and exposed to "the real world." In this dissertation, we review our explorations applying hierarchical Bayesian versions of simple models from the memory literature in experimental psychology to large data sets resulting from the clinical assessment of ADRD.
