were 4.54 in AD, 7.37 in MCI, and 7.79 in normal controls. The distribution of scores in each group was as follows: 3/2/1/0: 3(12.5%)/0(0%)/0(0%)/ 27(87.5%) in AD, 11(40.7%)/1(3.7%)/9(33.3%)/6(22.2%) in MCI, 11(57.9%)/1(5.3%)/7(36.8%)/0(0%)) in normal controls. A total of 25 patients were scored 3. The mean duration of their performance was 17.66 s in AD, 13.70 s in MCI, 14.70 s in normal controls. The most common error was omission of task, especially "edge" in AD whereas sequential error and addition of wrong motion were commonly observed in MCI. Conclusions: MCI patients showed more common errors than normal. Most of AD patients were not able to do FEP. Our study suggests that FEP can be used in bed-side screening tool in the dementia clinic.
