Abstract
This longitudinal study of 2 patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD), on 12 experimental tasks, was designed to identify a measure of cognitive decline in AD patients that would be sensitive to change over short periods (weeks), resistant to practice (repeated testing over a few weeks), and predictive of change over longer periods on standardized tests. During the periods of frequent testing, both patients improved on most tasks, but performance on the tasks of spelling words anc spelling pseudowords declined in the patient who deteriorated on standardized testing and remained stable in the patient who showed stable scores on standardized testing.
