Abstract:
Recent research has suggested semantic memory deterioration may be the earliest cognitive changes in Alzheimers disease (AD). This research examined the clustering performance in semantic fluency among 160 participants in various subgroups. Compared with HC group, patients presented deficient clustering in each semantic category related to living things. The poor clustering of items that may be more strongly associated with praxis could be used as a means of predicting conversion from aMCI-sd to DAT, whereas performance on items that may require perceptual information could be used to predict conversion among aMCI-md patients. These findings demonstrate the degree to which the semantic structures in memory can be used for the assessment of aMCI patients and prediction of conversion to DAT.
