Differentiation between amnestic‐mild cognitive impairment and early‐stage Alzheimer's disease using the Frontal Assessment Battery test

Abstract

The present findings suggest that the FAB total score and subtest scores reflecting interference performances (conflicting instructions and go/no-go) significantly declined in patients with EAD, independent of the disorientation and memory disorder. Such characteristics of neuropsychological screening test scores may be useful to clinicians for differentiating EAD and A-MCI at bedside.
