Semantic Recognition Task (SRT) in Alzheimer Disease
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to observe the outcomes of a semantic recognition task in Alzheimer Disease and discuss what this might add to clinical practice.

N/A |
Detailed Description
In classical memory testing procedures, the outcomes of recognition task is related to hippocampal memory deficits knowing that the recognition task is not purely temporal lobe activity. The aim of this study is to propose a recognition task more specific to temporal lobe activity.

---|---|
Experimental: Semantic information in Alzheimer Disease To observe the semantic information processing in early stages of Alzheimer Disease is the main aim of the study. A paper-pencil neuropsychological assessment battery will be used. For memory testing FCSRT (free and cued selective reminding test) will be used. The patients are going to be assessed while in clinical diagnosis routine. |
Behavioral: Semantic Recognition Procedure
A semantic recognition task is going to be added to administrated FCSRT procedure after immediate and delayed recall phases.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Semantic Recognition Task [1 day]
The number of correct answers will be observed just after the short-term learning procedure and just after the delayed recall procedure among people with positive biomarker compared to those with negative biomarker to Alzheimer Disease.
