title: [Visual search in healthy persons and Alzheimer's patients: relating cognitive function to clinical practice].
abstract: Visual search is a complex and highly relevant cognitive task. Hypotheses about the processes involved have been derived from experimental psychology and modified by recent functional imaging methods revealing the underlying neuronal networks. To close the gap between theoretical implications and clinical practice, models of visual search are employed to explain visual search impairments in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
