[Quantified neuropsychological study in senile dementia of Alzheimer's type].
Forty six patients affected by senile dementia of the Alzheimer type and 20 control subjects of similar age, sex and educational level have been studied, using a quantified neuropsychological battery (Wechsler memory scale, Raven progressive matrices and quantified tests for aphasia, apraxia and agnosia). There was a significant correlation between the scores of all cognitive functions with one another and with the Mini Mental State. The results show a rather global impairment of cognitive functions in these patients and suggest that intellectual impairment progresses as a continuum in senile dementia of the Alzheimer type.
