Opplysninger	Neuropsychological differences between 14 patients with a clinicaldiagnosis of frontal lobe degeneration of non-Alzheimer type (FLD)and 15 patients with a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD)were studied. The most efficient psychometric predictors of FLD wereDigit Symbol, estimation tasks, word list recall, and particularlythe FAS word fluency test. Behavioral predictors of FLD and AD showeda double dissociation: regression and impulsivity characterized FLD,whereas lack of motivation and slowness were typical of AD. Cognitiveand behavioral differences between groups were not related to thedegree of dementia, as measured by Mini Mental State Examination,indicating that differences remained during progression of thediseases.
