10 BBRC colored pictures, Stick Design Test and VF category supermarket items. Results:Healthy controls and AD were equivalent as to age and schooling (p> 0.05). Diagnostic accuracy was similar for black and white and colored BCSB pictures, but was higher for the Stick Design Test and VF supermarket, compared to the CERAD Constructional Praxis and VF animal (Table 1), respectively. Conclusions: Cognitive screening tests appropriate for individuals with low schooling may have higher diagnostic accuracy for AD.
