Alzheimer's Quick Test (AQT) |
| Overview: Test of parietal lobe function for early screening of Alzheimer's Age Range: Adult
Administration: |
|
The Alzheimer’s Quick Test has been validated with brain imaging and other neuro-psychiatric procedures to support an early differential diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease by detecting impaired parietal function.
This reliable test is quick and easy to administer and score. It is culture-free and not influenced by practice/learning. Two or ideally three naming tasks are performed:
Task A: Colour-Form NamingTask B: Colour-Number Naming
And/or Test C: Colour-Letter Naming.
Each task contains three tests. For example in Task A, the first two tests use single-dimension stimulus naming (Colour Naming and Form Naming) to set a baseline for naming time and accuracy. The third test uses dual-dimension stimulus combinations (colour and form) to obtain indirect, behavioural evidence of the level of cortical activation of the parietal lobes during the performance. Two additional tasks, Colour-Animal and Colour-Object Naming, are provided as alternatives for Colour-Form Naming.
