Dr Monique Boord is a Research Fellow based at Flinders University and adjunct Research Associate at the University of South Ausralia's Alliance for Research in Exercise, Nutrition and Activity (ARENA) research centre. Monique is an early career cognitive neuroscientist with a background in neural vulnerability to delirium and its subtypes in older cardiac patients. Monique's current role coordinates an MRFF funded study aiming to validate tests of spatial navigation in older adults through three existing cohorts: the ACTIVate cohort from UniSA, the ADNeT Screening and Trials study, and memory clinics based in three large local health networks (CAHLN, SAHLN, NAHLN). Monique has previously worked as a post doc on developing and implementing a digital pharmacist service in residential aged care to detect and mitigate commonly experienced medicine related problems. Monique has extensive teaching experience of undergraduate psychology courses as well as supervision.

Investigating the Clock Orientation Test for spatial navigation assessments in healthy older adults and people with dementia - Current (2025)

Judging the Distance: Self-Reported Versus Objective Spatial Navigation Ability in Healthy Older Adults - Completed (2024)

Association Between Domain Specific Cognitive Performance and Delirium Vulnerability in Older Adults - Completed (2022)

Dr Boord's research interests are predominently related to ageing broadly with a focus on delirium and dementia.
