Twenty-six patients with Alzheimer's disease, aged from 64 o 75 years old, were compared with thirty-one normal subjects with the aim of carrying out a comparative study of neuropshychological assessment by means of their performance on a neuropsychological battery (Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery). The most significative differences takes place in subscales related with attention, memory, visuospatial and calculation abilities. We conclude with some suggestions about new considerations on neurophychological assessment of these patients.
