icantly reduced ability to detect simple emotional cues and difficulty identifying simple and paradoxical sarcasm on the TASIT; reduced ability to identify risk and failure to modify decision making on the IGT; and increasedmean reaction times on the set-switching task. Performance on these tasks was not uniformly correlated across the FTD cohort. Conclusions: Our findings provide further evidence that the capacity to evaluate one’s own behavior, the capacity to evaluate others’ behavior and the capacity to switch between behavioral sets are impaired in FTLD. The application of tests sensitive to these functions could provide new biomarkers of complex behavioral functions in FTLD.
