Creation of an Ecological Tool Assessing Episodic Memory in Geriatrics

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Memory Disorders; Neurocognitive Disorders
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: ecological MAI test

• Registration Number: NCT05668598
• Lead Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier de Lens

Brief Summary

In this study the participants can be recruited via scheduled consultation and external institutions (associations, senior club..). Neuropsychological assessment will be realize to determine presence or absence of neurodegenerative disease.

Study test is ecological MAI. This test are assigned in two groups (with or without neurocognitive disorders).

Detailed Description

In this study the participants can be recruited via scheduled consultation and external institutions (associations, senior club..). Neuropsychological assessment will be realize to determine presence or absence of neurodegenerative disease.

Study test is ecological MAI. Participation will be 30 minutes for patients see in case of routine care and 2h30 for those accompanying the patients and participants recruited in external institutions.

Participants are assigned in two groups. Group 1 : with neurocognitive disorders Group 2 : without neurocognitive disorders

Benefits :

For participants without neurodegenerative disorder, study enables to take control early if anomaly will be detected.

The study permit to have cognitive assessment.

Risk : It's possible that participants feel tired. No constraints for participants seen during scheduled consultation.
