Abstract

Patients with mild dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT) and matched controls were examined for rate of forgetting line drawings of common objects. DAT patients demonstrated rapid forgetting in the first 10 min after learning to criterion. This finding is discussed with respect to memory consolidation and neuropathologic changes in dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
