“…Apart from the high number of perseverative errors, a similar level of performance in naming characterized the AD and s-IVD groups, suggesting as previously reported [50,51] that a mild semantic disturbance may exist in subcortical dementia.…”

We compared the performance of patients with Alzheimer’s disease to that of patients with subcortical vascular dementia (s-IVD) in a set of tasks assessing categorization abilities, sustained and selective attention, and set-shifting and set-maintaining skills. Only the measures of naming and categorization abilities on the Test of Classification and Recall of Pictures (TCRP) proved useful in differentiating AD from s-IVD patients. s-IVD patients showed worse performance than AD on the TCRP categorization measures, while both AD and s-IVD patients were equally impaired in other tasks assessing executive functions (EF). With respect to the naming task, s-IVD patients made significantly more perseverative and unrelated errors than AD patients. Moreover, in the s-IVD group, we found a strong correlation between categorization ability and an attentional test score (Attentional Matrices), while no such correlation emerged in the AD group. These results suggest a dissociated impairment of EF in the 2 dementia groups. In our view, the lack of inhibition and the inability to manipulate complex information are responsible for a greater executive dysfunction in s-IVD patients in comparison with AD patients. The capacity to build up strategies appears more preserved in AD patients, whose impaired performance in executive tasks seems to be related to an impairment of attentional shifting and working memory.

“…As noted previously the BNT and COWAT engage multiple other cognitive components unrelated to semantic processing that are also at risk for dysfunction in degenerative disease. [22][23][24][25][26] The SORT also proved to be short in terms of administration time, easy to administer and score, and well tolerated in aging and dementing patients.…”

“…Naming deficits are common in the dementias with problems early in Alzheimer-type dementia. Performance should be compared to that on word/picture matching and word definition tasks (Laine et al, 1997). Gives information about word finding as well as the person's ability to organise and select appropriate information.…”

Language changes are associated with several types of age-related degenerative processes and are known to be particularly stressful for carers. Managing language and communication difficulties in older people has been shown to be an important aspect of dementia care. A test such as the one described here, might be a useful tool for health professionals planning care for older people with possible diagnoses of dementia. The information gained could be used as part of multi-disciplinary team assessment. This paper describes the development of a clinically viable assessment tool for the assessment of language and associated cognitive skills in the older population. Data on 43 normal older people were used to establish preliminary means and lower normal limits, as a guide to distinguishing performance associated with normal age-related change from performance associated with pathology. In the next phase data was collected from 43 older people with possible dementia who were attending clinics and hospital departments. The results suggest that the Barnes Language Assessment can profile language skills and difficulties and may be a useful diagnostic tool to contribute to language assessment of older people. Indications for further research are discussed.
