Relationship between positive and negative symptoms and neuropsychological scores in frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimers disease.

Patients with dementia, particularly those with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), are reported to display marked negative symptoms, including apathy, lack of initiative, and flattened affect, similar to those observed in schizophrenic patients. However, ...

Music training improves verbal but not visual memory: cross-sectional and longitudinal explorations in children.

The hypothesis that music training can improve verbal memory was tested in children. The results showed that children with music training demonstrated better verbal but not visual memory than did their counterparts without such training. When these ...

The neuropsychological profiles of mild Alzheimers disease and questionable dementia as compared to age-related cognitive decline.

Test scores from a comprehensive neuropsychological battery administered to 1602 subjects consisting of 1347 subjects with probable Alzheimers disease (AD), 100 subjects with questionable dementia (QD) and 155 non-demented elderly control subjects were ...

Narrative and procedural discourse in temporal lobe epilepsy.

It is well established that some individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) demonstrate language deficits at the single word level. However, discourse production rarely has been examined quantitatively within this group. This study compared adult TLE ...

Cognitive support at encoding attenuates age differences in recollective experience among adults of lower frontal lobe function.

Free recall and recollective experience were investigated in relation to low and high cognitive support at encoding and to neuropsychological measures of frontal lobe function (FLF) in 105 healthy adults divided into 3 age groups (young, young-old, old). ...

Making memories without trying: medial temporal lobe activity associated with incidental memory formation during recognition.

Structures in the medial portions of the human temporal lobes (MTL) play a vital role in the ability to learn new facts and events, whether such learning is intentional or incidental. We examined neural activity in the MTL both while participants studied ...

Neuropsychological deficits associated with Alzheimers disease in the very-old: discrepancies in raw vs. standardized scores.

The profiles of neuropsychological deficits associated with Alzheimers disease (AD) in Young-Old (M age and 70) and Very-Old (M age > 80) patients were compared, along with possible modifying effects of apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype on these profiles. ...

The contribution of autobiographical significance to semantic memory.

We examined the importance of autobiographical significance (AS) in the representation and organization of semantic memory by examining which famous people are most likely to be associated with specific personal memories and whether or not this AS can be ...

Effects of divided attention and speeded responding on implicit and explicit retrieval of artificial grammar knowledge.

The artificial grammar (AG) learning literature (see, e.g., Mathews et al., 1989; Reber, 1967) has relied heavily on a single measure of implicitly acquired knowledge. Recent work comparing this measure (string classification) with a more indirect ...

Decision making with the "adaptive toolbox": influence of environmental structure, intelligence, and working memory load.

In 2 experiments with a total of 220 participants, the tendency to use simple heuristics such as the take the best heuristic in an adaptive manner was investigated. In a simulated stock market paradigm, the payoff structure of environments was varied, ...
