Neuropsychology

Neuropsychological testing is useful to obtain a clinical assessment of the disease. These tests evaluate conduct, language, visuospatial abilities, memory, abstraction, planning and mental control, motor skills and intelligence. Tests of the FTD patient may show visual and memory abilities intact. However, abstract thinking, word generation, motivation and ability to follow rules may be disrupted.
