Neuropsychology Assessment of Dementia: Early Detection
From an American Psychological Association (APA) press release on 25 September 2005:
PSYCHOLOGISTS FIND MORE SENSITIVE TESTS FOR PREDICTING ALZHEIMER'S AS WELL AS SUBTLE CHANGES IN COGNITION[ ... Read the full press release ... ]
Implicit-memory tests are stronger predictors than the common Mini Mental [Status] exam[ination; i.e., MMSE]; Alzheimer's may hurt attention well before obvious memory loss
Washington — Two recent studies may help clinicians and researchers better predict and understand dementia of the Alzheimer's type early in its history. Both studies appear in the September issue of Neuropsychology, which is published by the American Psychological Association (APA). Psychologists focus on early detection in part because current medications are useful only when given very early in the course of the disease.
