AnnotationThe aim of this study was to compare the performance on each item of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and multi-infarct dementia (MID). Data obtained suggest that the MMSE may demonstrate a pattern of impairment of memory that differs between AD and MID. Possible explanations of this finding should take into account the different neuroanatomical impairments and the different degrees of motivation, due to depression or attitudinal deficits, toward external stimuli.
