Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Alzheimer Disease
Interventions
Behavioral: Semantic Recognition Procedure
Registration Number
NCT05711888
Lead Sponsor
Istanbul University
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.

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.

Semantic information in Alzheimer DiseaseSemantic Recognition ProcedureTo 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.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Semantic Recognition Task1 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.
