Official title
Creation of an Ecological Tool Assessing Episodic Memory in Geriatrics: an Adaptation of the Memory Test With Self-Initiated Items (MAI)
Overview
In this study the participants can be recruited via scheduled consultation and external institutions (associations, senior club..). Neuropsychological assessment will be realize to determine presence or absence of neurodegenerative disease. Study test is ecological MAI. This test are assigned in two groups (with or without neurocognitive disorders).
Detailed description
In this study the participants can be recruited via scheduled consultation and external institutions (associations, senior club..). Neuropsychological assessment will be realize to determine presence or absence of neurodegenerative disease.
Study test is ecological MAI. Participation will be 30 minutes for patients see in case of routine care and 2h30 for those accompanying the patients and participants recruited in external institutions.
Participants are assigned in two groups. Group 1 : with neurocognitive disorders Group 2 : without neurocognitive disorders
Benefits :
For participants without neurodegenerative disorder, study enables to take control early if anomaly will be detected.
The study permit to have cognitive assessment.
Risk : It's possible that participants feel tired. No constraints for participants seen during scheduled consultation.
Interventions
- Diagnostic test ecological MAI test
Neuropsychological assessment will be realize to determine presence or absence of neurodegenerative disease. Study test is ecological MAI.
Primary outcome measures
- To compare performance obtaining to overall score remind ecological MAI between older persons with neurocognitive disorders (groupe 1) and older persons without neurocognitive disorders (groupe 2). [Time frame: day 1]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- To compare between case and control the various dimensions of episodic memory: temporal component, space component and association component. [Time frame: day 1]
- To compare between case and control the various dimensions of episodic memory: temporal component, space component and association component. [Time frame: day 1]
- To compare between case and control the various dimensions of episodic memory: temporal component, space component and association component. [Time frame: day 1]
