registration trial) especially because of better memory registration and had many more false positives on CVLT recognition memory testing. In comparison, the non-amnestic AD patients were worse on Forward Digit Span, Trailmaking B time, Boston Naming Test (uncued), CVLT memory registration, and the Southern California Figure-Ground Test. 17 of the 19 non-amnestic EOAD patients were abnormal on all 6 tests, and the Trailmaking B added the highest specificity at 0.92. Conclusions:These results reveal significantly different neuropsychological profiles for the non-amnestic variants of AD, as a group, from typical AD. The findings suggest neuropsychological measure for differentiation of these variants that including measures of early impairment in mental control and executive abilities, uncued naming, memory registration, and midlevel visuospatial processing.
