discriminative power were: delayed verbal memory and delayed visual memory that classified correctly 94.4% of the AD and control subjects; immediate verbal retrieval task, that classified correctly 89.2% of the AD and depressed patients; and delayed visual retrieval task that classified 75.6% of the depressed and controls. Conclusions: These results suggest that visual and verbal memory tasks are important instruments in the clinical diagnosis of elderly with cognitive deficits and can differentiate mild AD and depressed patients from normal elderly subjects.
