Object and action naming in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia
Abstract
To assess noun and verb processing in different dementia types, we tested object and action naming in three groups of subjects: probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) with mild to moderate dementia; age- and education-matched normal subjects; and a group of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) patients. AD and FTD patients were impaired in naming compared with control subjects; action naming was more severely impaired. However, the discrepancy between object and action naming was significantly greater in FTD than in AD patients, independent of the severity of dementia or of overall language impairment. The latter finding is compatible with the hypothesis that the frontal lobe plays a crucial role in action naming. A relatively selective impairment in action naming might be a characteristic neuropsychological feature of FTD.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
