Abstract
The first signs of cognitive impairment in the elderly generally elicit much concern among family members. Reactions run from denial to the active search for information. Some families manage to set up relatively well-organized networks of informal support to help both caregivers and elderly relatives. However, little is known about the processes underlying the different pathways that families follow at the onset of Alzheimer-type dementia in elderly relatives. To gain a better understanding of barriers to care early in the caregiving career, from the first signs of illness to diagnosis, the authors conducted interviews with 52 caregivers recruited at two cognition clinics. Barriers to help resources were analyzed from the viewpoint of social representations. This approach allowed the consideration of a broad range of individual and group phenomena capable of fashioning caregivers' representations of this period. The results confirmed the importance of the symbolic dimension of experience in steering social practice.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
