Differential Patterns of Memory Loss Among Patients With Alzheimer's Disease, Huntington's Disease, and Alcoholic Korsakoff's Syndrome

摘要: • Patients with Huntington's disease (HD), alcoholic Korsakoff's syndrome (KS), and Alzheimer's (AD) were compared normal control subjects on a task designed to assess recognition memory for different classes of stimuli: spatial, verbal, color, pattern, facial. In addition, recall verbal stimuli was assessed at two delay intervals. On testing, AD KS patients impaired each the five stimulus conditions. However, HD patients, though four conditions, unimpaired when used. AD, HD, groups equally shorter (15 s). longer (two minutes), still relative group, performed significantly better than group.
