“…In previous studies, performance of recognition tests was frequently at ceiling (Branconnier, Cole, Spera, & DeVitt, 1982 ;K apur, 1987 ;K nopf & N eidhardt, 1989 ;Spikman, Berg, & Deelman, 1995 ;West & Boatwright, 1983). Thus, the sensitivity for detection of individual di erences and potential age e ects is diminished : Changes in performance will only be detected for the most impaired subjects.…”

The goal of the present study was to develop and validate parallel tests of verbal and figural delayed-recognition memory with similar task demands and difficulty levels. Such tasks would allow examination of age differences and longitudinal age changes in visual recognition memory for two types of stimuli, activate divergent neural systems, and allow us to use the same procedures within the confines of functional neuroimaging as those we use in standard neuropsychological administration. The tasks introduced here include a delay between target presentation and test phase, are matched in difficulty, and yield moderate levels of performance. Individual and group differences in task performance were examined in 80 cognitively normal men and women in two older age groups: 60 to 69 and 70 to 85. Accuracy averaged 74% in both tasks, with lower performance in the oldest age group. Although accuracy was equivalent between tasks, subjects had a more liberal response bias in the figural than verbal task. Performance on the new recognition-memory tests was significantly related to Benton Visual Retention Test (BVRT; Benton [1963]. New York: The Psychological Corporation) and California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT; Delis, Kramer, Kaplan, & Ober [1987]. New York: The Psychological Corporation) performance measures. The absence of floor or ceiling effects, wide range of individual variability, and demonstrated concurrent validity of the present tasks suggest their potential utility in functional neuroimaging studies and in the early detection of cognitive decline.

“…Although recall tests are traditionally used to assess memory function in MCI (Collie & Maruff, 2000), recognition tests may also provide useful information for the purpose of detecting early Alzheimer's disease in MCI (Branconnier, Cole, Spera & DeVitt, 1982). Compared with recall, recognition performance declines less in normal aging (Parker et al, 2004;Zakzanis et al, 1999;Borke & Light, 1981), which can be an advantage when attempting to identify age-related neurological disorders such as MCI and Alzheimer's disease.…”

“…Memory impairment in AD affects free recall (Helkala et al, 1988;Grober et al, 2000), cued recall (Petersen et al, 1994;Buschke et al, 1995;Tounsi et al, 1999), and recognition (Branconnier et al, 1982;Wilson et al, 1983). These deficits have been considered as the consequence of poor encoding (Damasio et al, 1990;Köhler et al, 1998) and of retrieval impairment (Bird and Luszcz, 1991;Tuokko et al, 1991).…”

Summary:The goal of this study was to explore in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) the brain correlates of free and cued recall performance using an adaptation of the procedure developed by Grober and Buschke (1987). This procedure, which ensures semantic processing and coordinates encoding and retrieval, has been shown to be very sensitive to an early diagnosis of AD. Statistical parametric mapping (SPM 99) was used to establish clinicometabolic correlations between performance at free and cued verbal recall and resting brain metabolism in 31 patients with AD. Results showed that patient's score on free recall correlated with metabolic activity in right frontal regions (BA 10 and BA 45), suggesting that performance reflected a strategic retrieval attempt. Poor retrieval performance was tentatively attributed to a loss of functional correlation between frontal and medial temporal regions in patients with AD compared with elderly controls. Performance on cued recall was correlated to residual metabolic activity in bilateral parahippocampal regions (BA 36), suggesting that performance reflected retrieval of semantic associations, without recollection in AD. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the diagnostic sensitivity for Alzheimer's disease of the cued recall performance in the Grober and Buschke procedure (1987) depends on the activity of parahippocampal regions, one of the earliest targets of the disease. Moreover, the results suggest that the poor performance of patients with AD during free and cued recall is related to a decreased connectivity between parahippocampal regions and frontal areas.
