AI Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that DLB patients performed better than AD patients in immediate total recall and cueing sensitivity, indicating different memory patterns between the two groups (p = 0.01 and p = 0.001, respectively).
- * The FCSRT has potential in differentiating between hippocampal memory issues and recall strategy problems, demonstrating a sensitivity of 76% and specificity of 79% for identifying DLB.
Article Abstract
The Free and Cued Selective Reminding test (FCSRT) was used to assess memory in 19 patients with prodromal dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and 25 Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. DLB scored better than AD in selective measures of the FCSRT: immediate total recall (p = 0.01) and index of sensitivity of cueing (p = 0.001), while free delayed and total memory scores were similarly impaired. The index of sensitivity of cueing held a sensitivity of 76% and specificity of 79% in distinguishing DLB. FCSRT could help in disentangling hippocampal memory deficits from memory impairment due to ineffective recall strategies.
