The three-item clock-drawing test: a simplified screening test for Alzheimers disease.

The Clock-Drawing Test (CDT) has been used to screen for Alzheimers disease (AD) as a supplement to cognitive tests that focus on memory impairment. We examined a comprehensive scoring system of the CDT in screening of AD in a Chinese population and ...

Recognition memory in Alzheimers disease. A demonstration of a remarkable memory capacity in Alzheimers disease.

A compelling feature of human memory is its striking capacity. Under certain circumstances, subjects can remember large amounts of information even with brief exposure at study. This investigation shows that this ability is preserved even in severely ...

Memory function in normal aging.

Basic findings obtained on memory functions in normal aging are presented and discussed with respect to five separate but interacting memory systems. These systems are: episodic memory, semantic memory, short-term memory, perceptual representation system ...

Food and nutrient intake in a group of self-managing elderly Swedish women.

BACKGROUND: With the increasing numbers of elderly women living at home, there is an interest to investigate the dietary intake of this group. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the food and nutrient intake in a group of self-managing elderly women in Sweden. ...

Visual object and face processing in mild-to-moderate Alzheimers disease: from segmentation to imagination.

Little is known about the fate of higher level visual perception and visual mental imagery in the early stages of Alzheimers disease (AD). In this study, we assessed these abilities in a group of mild-to-moderate AD patients using tasks selected to ...

Perception of action boundaries in patients with frontal lobe damage.

The prefrontal cortex is known to be involved in action planning and in controlling behaviour. Neuropsychological evidence also supports the idea that the prefrontal cortex is generally involved in processing complex events, such as action knowledge. ...

Hindsight bias in gustatory judgments.

Being in hindsight, people tend to overestimate what they had known in foresight. This phenomenon has been studied for a wide variety of knowledge domains (e.g., episodes with uncertain outcomes, or solutions to almanac questions). As a result of these ...

Differences in word associations to pictures and words.

Normal subjects were asked to produce the "first word that comes to mind" in response to pictures or words that differed with respect to manipulability and animacy. In separate analyses across subjects and items, normal subjects produced a significantly ...

Navigation expertise and the human hippocampus: a structural brain imaging analysis.

Grey matter volume in the posterior hippocampus of London taxi drivers is greater than in age-matched controls, and the size of this increase correlates positively with time spent taxi driving (E.A. Maguire et al., 2000. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 97: ...

Intentional and automatic measures of specific-category effect in the semantic impairment of patients with Alzheimers disease.

The breakdown of semantic knowledge relative to living and non-living categories was studied in patients with Alzheimers disease (AD). The same living and non-living items were used in a semantic battery and in a semantic priming paradigm exploring ...
