  "abstract": "Introduction: The COVID‐19 pandemic accelerated adoption of remote cognitive assessments in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research, yet comparability across visit modalities remains unclear. This study evaluated whether visit modality influenced cognitive performance.\n\nMethods: We analyzed 27,144 visits from 13,219 participants across 37 Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers (March 2020 to December 2024), including in‐person, telephone, and video visits, among adults aged ≥65 years. Linear mixed‐effects models examined associations between visit modality and cognitive performance.\n\nResults: Remote assessments comprised 20.8% of visits and were associated with slightly higher Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores than in‐person visits for both telephone and video modalities (p < 2.0E‐16; Cohen's d = 0.21 to 0.26). Domain analyses showed modestly higher memory and attention performance during remote visits, with minimal differences in executive function or language.\n\nDiscussion: Remote cognitive assessments showed largely comparable performance to in‐person testing, supporting their validity and potential to improve accessibility and inclusiveness in AD research.",
