The reading and semantic link tests: a comparison between probable Alzheimer patients and reading-matched controls
1University of Leicester, England.
Abstract:
The performance in those diagnosed as probably suffering from Alzheimer's disease was compared with age-matched controls on a test of semantic and contextual processing relative to a test of silent reading. The former test, the Semantic Link Test, was hypothesized to deteriorate to a greater degree in those suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The controls were matched on reading performance as well as on age. Consequently, a deterioration in performance on the Semantic Link Test for Alzheimer's patients relative to controls was hypothesized. This hypothesis was confirmed, lending further support to the notion that Alzheimer's disease can specifically affect semantic processes.
