What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying a new semantic recognition task to better understand how early stages of Alzheimer Disease affect memory related to the temporal lobe. This study aims to improve clinical assessment by focusing on semantic information processing, which is different from traditional memory tests that mainly involve the hippocampus. Participants will undergo a paper-pencil neuropsychological assessment that includes the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test FCSRT. The new semantic recognition task will be added after immediate and delayed recall phases of the FCSRT to evaluate semantic memory more specifically. During the study, patients will be assessed as part of their clinical diagnosis routine. Researchers will measure performance on the Semantic Recognition Task within one day. The study includes monitoring memory and semantic processing through behavioral testing, with no additional treatments or interventions. Participants may include healthy volunteers and those with Alzheimer Disease.
