Discriminating between Alzheimer’s disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and functional memory disorders (FMD) can sometimes be difficult because amnesic syndrome can be confused with memory dysfunction due to aging and/or depression. This work aims to translate, adapt and validate the five-word test (FWT) in an Italian sample (Test delle 5 Parole, T5P). FWT is a screening memory task specifically built to discriminate the hippocampal memory deficit—typical of AD and amnesic MCI—from those related to functional disorders. We involved a large number of subjects (n = 264): 60 with AD, 80 with MCI, 46 with FMD, and 78 healthy controls (CTRL). Two traditional screening tests and the T5P were administered to all participants. Results showed an excellent convergent validity of the T5P (p &lt; 0.05). Moreover, the T5P appeared as an effective test able to discriminate between the four conditions, except for FMD and CTRL. In particular, a total score of ≤9 allowed for accurately discriminating subjects with AD + MCI compared to participants with FMD + CTRL with high sensitivity (83.87%) and specificity (76.43%). Overall, the T5P is a simple, rapid and sensible test of the hippocampal memory that is recommended in clinical practice to screen persons with subjective/probable amnesic difficulties and to discriminate between patients with AD or MCI and CTRL.
