[Neuropsychologic evaluation of dementias].
The neuropsychological assessment of dementia reveals the following behavioural deficits: Organization of complex mental activities, solving of unfamiliar problems, orientation in the (social) surroundings, memory, continuity and speed in mental operations. The use of wide inventories of behavioural functions in neuropsychology warrants the early diagnosis of dementia, and thus allows for therapeutic measures to keep the patients in their professional and social setting.
