Neuropsychological changes distinguishing mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) from frontotemporal dementia (FTD) have been described, but empirical verification of differential cognitive characteristics is lacking. Archival neuropsychological data on 15 FTD patients, 16 AD patients, and 16 controls were compared. Controls outperformed both patient groups on measures of verbal and nonverbal memory, executive ability, and constructional skill, with AD patients showing more widespread memory decline. No differences were found between the 3 groups in confrontation naming, recognition memory, or basic attention. Patient groups differed only •n nonverbal memory, with FTD patients performing significantly better than AD patients. However, patient groups also differed in pattern of performance across executive and memory domains. Specifically, AD patients exhibited significantly greater impairment on memory than executive tasks, whereas the opposite pattern characterized the rTD group. These findings suggest that examination of relative rankings of scores across cognitive domains, in addition to interpretation of individual neuropsychological scores, may be useful in differential diagnosis of FTD versus AD.

Background:The association of autism symptoms and cognitive abilities can facilitate the etiology and treatment of autism disorders. Destruction of executive functions is one of the several potential cognitive phenotypes in autism. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between deficit executive functions and behavioral symptoms in children with high-functioning autism. Materials and Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 50 children with high-functioning autism were selected using the convenience sampling method. The Gilliam autism rating scale, high-functioning autism spectrum screening questionnaire, The Stroop color and word test, continuous performance test and shifting attention test were administered. Pearson correlation coefficient and multi-variant regression were used to analyze the data. Results: There was a positive correlation between selective attention with communication and social interactions (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between sustained attention with social interactions and stereotyped behaviors (P < 0.05, P < 0.001). Moreover, there also was a positive correlation between shifting attention and communication, social interactions and stereotyped behaviors (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, P < 0.001). The results of regression analysis showed that selective attention and shifting attention can predict communication (P < 0.01). Sustained attention can predict social interactions and stereotyped behaviors (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The results of this study suggest that executive functions play an important role in symptoms of children with highfunctioning autism. It is recommended to design new therapeutic interventions to restore executive functions in children with highfunctioning autism.

“…(Stroop, 1935;Trenerry, Crosson, DeBoe, & Leber, 1989): SNST is a test of executive functioning efficiency that tests response inhibition (Farah, 2003). The Stroop color-naming test requires overriding of a dominant response, and it has established solid content validity 2 (Boone, Miller, Lesser, Hill, & D'Elia, 1990;Spreen & Strauss, 1998), which allowed successful distinction of the people with problems with and without inhibition in the close head injury (Trenerry et al, 1989) and ADHD samples (Murphy, Barkley, & Bush, 2001;Lovejoy et al, 1999). SNST has been standardized on 156 adults ages 18-79 years, and it has excellent test-retest reliability of .90 (Trenerry et al, 1989).…”

The author hereby certifies that the use of any copyrighted material in the thesis manuscript entitled: (1) individuals with high total ADHD scores had a difficulty in sustaining attention on a repeated trial task; (2) hyperactive/impulsive scores had a significant positive correlation with impulsivity but not with disinhibition; (3) inattentive scores had a negative trend correlation only with a simple auditory/verbal working memory task. The present study revealed that even the individuals with sub-clinical ADHD symptoms had similar difficulties associated with sustained attention, impulsivity, and simple verbal working memory in neurocognitive tests.
